MGS Movie Dead?
Collider has published a excerpt of an interview with Mike De Luca, producer behind films including The Love Guru and Ghost Rider in which De Luca reveals that the live action Metal Gear Solid movie announced in 2008 probably won’t happen. De Luca explains that Konami, the producer of the Metal Gear Solid video game franchise, is unwilling to allow certain “freedoms” with the franchise which Sony deems absolutely necessary to the film’s marketing and distribution.

Snaaaaake!
But why not just let Kojima direct the Hollywood movie, too? If they can give money to a guy to make Dances with Smurfs…
This actually relieves my fear I had of what Hollywood would have done to the Metal Gear Franchise. It would have been the ugly duckling with out a Kojima touch to it lol. Koijima makes metal gear’s movies enough as is…why not just CG a full movie and let David Hayter play Snake as always haha.
Hideo Kojima and the people at Konami must be retards if they really think they can teach something about history telling to Hollywood filmmakers: they just created the concept of modern movie storytelling PERIOD. As a movie character “Snake†is boring as a snail race; it is movie making 101 to know that in order to make a “wachable†movie (and not a fanservice feast for obese nerds) the main character NEEDS a romantic interest, for example.
Um, he has a romantic interest in part 1 and part 3.
Indeed, why doesn’t Konami just fund the internal development of a full CG MGS movie? The games are already half way there, and doing so would allow Kojima and Konami to ensure control over their franchise.
Coz they aren’t pixar or even dreamworks. Videogames cinema motion CG is utter garbage compared to say, Shrek III.
