Vogt-Roberts Talks Metal Gear Movie

That Metal Gear Solid movie has been in various stages of gestation for several years now (read: development hell).  But it is a blip on the radar again, since the director of Kong: Skull Island is talking about it, so presumably it’s his movie.

Here is what he says:

“Right now what we’re trying to write is the craziest, punk rock, Kojima, rock and roll, like ‘holy s–t they’re going to try to make that movie that does this in that many time periods?!’ Like it’s special.

Whether we can execute on that script, whether we can get it made, who knows. But right now, I truly believe that the target is in the right direction, and so we’ll see what happens from there.”

For what it’s worth.  Because I don’t know about you, but I found that statement to be unintelligible (kind of like Kojima’s overwrought attempts at intrigue).  I suppose it’s too much to ask for a straight riff on the 1998 game?

Probably…
