The way to bring the beloved techno-thriller stealth video game solid metal gear on the big screen it was long and winding. Cinemablend reported in 2012 what metal gear the film was in the works at Columbia Pictures. Yet, a decade later, the project of time and time apparently isn’t much closer to becoming a reality. Kong: Skull Island Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has been hired to lead the project in 2014, but details beyond that have been scarce over the past eight years. knight of the moon voiced actor Oscar Isaac his desire to play Solid Snake in a film adaptation. The film’s director was also interested in the idea as it wasn’t long after Isaac expressed his wishes for the star to be officially cast. So what’s the state of the film now?
dune star recently talked to ComicBook.com on his next graphic novel, Head injuries: sparrowbut the conversation quickly turned to ever changing metal gear project, in which the actor provided a small update. Although Isaac doesn’t give us much information, he reiterates the importance of having the script and its version of the material “correct”. The actor also expressed the team’s desire to bring Solid Snake to the big screen in a way that excites fans. The actor said:
We want this to happen. Thrill. What’s the scenario? What’s the story? What’s the catch? […] But I hope it comes true because there is a lot of potential for it. It is a fantastic game. It is my favorite.
Although this is a somewhat vague statement, the old car Star appears to confirm that the project is still in development, while acknowledging the level of care required to properly adapt the game. Video games can be their loyal fan base.
Pitfalls that a Metal Gear Solid adaptation should try to avoid.
Video game-based movies and TV shows are becoming more and more common. Look no further than our list of upcoming movies or ours 2022 television program to see how many adaptations have been released this year alone, with many more around the corner. Gone are the days of fans accepting half-cooked renditions or random remixes of their favorite game’s iconography (I’m watching you, from netflix resident of demons series ). Fans often have no problem expressing their opinion when they sense that an adaptation has missed the mark. For example, look no further than the initial project for Sonic the hedgehogThe first theatrical release of.
When the trailer Sonic the hedgehog dropped, fans were greeted with direct blue nightmare fuel. The initial character designs for everyone’s favorite Erinaceidae were scary to say the least, and fans didn’t take the time to engage in social media to share their outrage. And for better or for worse, the director and the film studio listened, stopped the release of the film and gave the character a review, which paid off the studio. Sonic was now more aligned with what fans had come to love and recognize. With the redesign in place, the Sonic The film was a success embraced by his fans, who felt heard and had a sense of belonging to the character and the film.
For solid metal gear to be successful, you have to take a page from the Sonic the hedgehog playbook embracing what fans have come to love about the show. Directors should try to replicate the gritty aspect of the games’ neo-thriller, of course, but more importantly, they should embrace the cinematic storytelling that is already present in the series.
Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has stated in previous interviews that his opinion metal gear it will be a remix rather than an adaptation of a single game or story. This address, in my opinion, is a mistake. Anyone who has played metal gear he knows that part of the fun appeal of playing them is their hours of dense story and cut scenes that are often as rich in detail and depth as any movie.
Hopefully, the filmmakers will consider picking one of the eleven games in the series and making a faithful adaptation of its story. If it’s a hit with audiences, there will be plenty of time and story available for the sequels, making a remix superfluous.
There is currently no release date for solid metal gear. For all your programs to go to the cinema in the coming months you can consult our 2022 film release schedule .
