The film based on the video game Metal Gear Solid di Hideo Kojima, released in 1998 on PlayStation and published by Konami, it is a truly ambitious project. He's taking care of it Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the young director of The Kings of Summer (2013), but also the most recent Kong: Skull Island (2017), also very active in television from 2009 to today. The man appeared in an episode of Animal Talking di Gary Whitta, the writer of Star Wars, and has provided some updates that fans will not like very much, who will be forced to wait a little longer. The writing of the screenplay is finished, but there is still no studio ready to turn it into a film. Jordan Vogt-Roberts hopes this will be done with a sizable budget, to respect the grandeur and spectacularity of the original video games. He spoke of the film as one of his creatures, on which he has been working for six years. His priority is fidelity to Hideo Kojima's work.
It is a difficult thing. Making any film in Hollywood is complex. Getting something like Metal Gear Solid is even more so. That's why I'm trying to do it on a budget that allows you to do whatever you want, thanks to which you can make a non-sterilized version of Metal Gear.
Even more difficult in times like these, where the COVID-19 emergency has slowed down the entire film industry. In fact, the director hoped to be on set about a year ago, but various delays, now added to the ongoing emergency, have made the undertaking still impossible. The search for the budget adds to that of the actor who could play Snake, still unknown. In addition, another project would be added to the cinematographic one: the realization of an animated series that has D as Snake's voice. Hoping that the situation will be unlocked soon, we are ready for any interesting update on this, for what may be the next big movie based on a video game.
