Talking toIGN , Vogt - Roberts revealed the the long - awaited adaption was one step closer in coming to fruition , with a script for the moving-picture show having just been turned in . When asked whether Metal Gear Solid was happen and whether he was doing it , the director had this to say :
" Ah , we actually just turned in the script … and I think it ’s one of the best scripts I ’ve ever read . It ’s one of the cool , weirdest , most Kojima thing . Even being involved with it , I expect at it as someone who was , like , I would make the hell out of this movie . But if I was n’t involved in it , then I would still count at that book and be like holy s * * * ! "
Previously distinguish as " champ at the bit " to make aMetal Gear Solidmovie , Vogt - Roberts has a clear Passion of Christ for the projection will no doubt please fans who have been wait just as thirstily for this adaptation for 30 years . The fact that such announcements are come out in the anniversary workweek of the original games demonstrate that after a tenner in maturation hell , even if just from a merchandising point of view , it may actually be in the right hands and make it to screen this clock time - and as more thanan edited video recording of a uproariously bollix up robbery .
Vogt Roberts also revealed how much picture games have act upon him and still go on to work his filmmaking alternative . Video plot version have , thus far , not fared well in translation , with everything fromMario Bros.toStreet Fighterreceiving near - universal derision . Although the like ofResident Evilwas successful enough to at least incur multiple sequel , it still betray to progress to the stature of success or acclaim of the video game . Vogt - Roberts has n’t expressed any overconfidence in being the one to unwrap the expletive , but being a womb-to-tomb gamer will surely be an plus towards that aspiration , especially when it comes to translating the immersive natural process of gaming into the traditionally more passive viewing experience of film . It ’s soft to see whyHideo Kojima bid his thanksgiving .
offer the ilk ofSnowpiercerandEdge of Tomorrowas grounds , Vogt - Roberts believes that a video game adaptation can work . Though those two examples are n’t biz adaptations , element of them can be tied straight off to games . When you add in the like ofScott Pilgrim vs. The Worldinto the mixture , which functioned almost - solely by video game logic , it ’s even severe to dissent with his belief . Whether or not Vogt - Roberts can translate that same success to an real adaptation remains to be see . There is still a foresighted way to go , with no mention of a output kickoff appointment or casting . Working from a hand from Jay Basu andDerek Connolly , who he collaborate with previously onKong : Skull Island , however , Vogt - Roberts has definitely offered a pile to keepMetal Gearfans promising .
