If they did a Venom film focused purely on the Revenge and Moby Dick allusions, full of wartime horror mixed with those 80s popsongs used in the game trailers, it could be fantastic. Even with hammy acting it could still be pulled off emotionally.

Imagine some scene of Venom standing over dead child soldiers with Elegia playing?

What a hack. It should be done as a miniseries, 8 to 10 episodes. Directed by Fukunaga.

>>82954788
Dune's problem was Jodorowsky's ideas where outrageously expensive, from actors to aesthetics.

Having an actual MGS story based on the game's take on morality/ideology is nothing like Dune.
Just look at how awful the ghost in the Shell movie was regarding narrative, and that's because they stripped everything that made it what it is, instead of being just a generic sci fi.

>>82954985

Nothing would have saved GitS

>>82953861
So they're using the new Star Wars approach, "everything else sucked so this will be automatically better".

Mortal Kombat will never be topped.

>MGS being a movie
The whole thing is way too long to be a movie even if the movie will be 4 hours
The question is whether it's going to be a general MGS universe movie or just the one based on the first MGS

In an ideal world, MGS can be a series because that way, you can fit more source material
Even then, you can only have a niche audience because turning it into a "Hollywood" type thing will demolish any nuance that the series has

Metal Gear Solid is fucking awful. It has some of the most moronic action scenes I've ever seen in anything, and the characters can't ever shut the fuck up with their cringey dialogue that's constantly just pleading with you to think it's deep.

>>82954093
The only person who I can think of who could actually pull it off is prime Clint Eastwood. Unfortunately he is way to old. anybody even come close who's young enough?

>>82953861
Metal Gear is a classic case of a story that only works because it's a game.

>>82953861
It's been basically a campy B action movie since MG2 so why not?

>>82955769
This, the games are pretty good with all the shenanigans, but the story is fan fiction tier.

The only way I can think people would really enjoy it is if you go over the top like the resident evil movies or the expendables.

Almost everything that makes MGS good is done through codecs, monologues, or shit that goes on for fucking ever and won't translate to a well paced big screen movie. Oh and all that fourth wall and DUMB Kojima shit humor.

>>82953861
Yes. Only if they say fuck the teen demographic. That is why the majority of vida flims are shit, the assumption is low buget, name and the fans will watch it, if it fails the dvds/blurays/streaming will recoup loses.

>>82953861
Seems redundant to me. Metal Gear is a weird, unique cocktail but the most interesting and original parts of its story stem from Kojima's quirks and the way the story works as a video game. And there isn't a smooth way to transfer that to a 90 minute Hollywood film. At best, we'll get a heavy-handedly tongue-in-cheek Escape from New York Lite.

It's an even more pointless movie premise than most video game adaptations.

- The movie is reduced to generic action shit with the names and settings you love. The movie will > do ok and it won't get a sequel.

I think the biggest thing that stops vidya movies from being good is the studio. There was elements of a good movie in there, I could fucking feel it.

This is why I'm trusting Adi Shankar and whoever else is on the Castlevania Netflix project to do it right. Netflix literally gives no fucks what their content creators do so long as they can make a good profit on it, and Shankar (egotistical twat he may be) seems hell-bent on doing something special with this, already saying it's gonna be the best vidya show out there.

Some of you guys are morons.

A Metal Gear film could work if its based in reality and that a bipedal nuclear tank existed with the terrorists stealing it from the US Government and hold the world at ransom not just by unveiling it and sending a UN shitstorm on the US but they would have to beef up the Metal Gear if it can fire 10 nuclear missiles that's a walking armed country. Throw in Bale as Solid and Liquid Snake along with Daniel Day Lewis as Revolver Ocelot and you have a god-tier film. Explore genetic cloning and use the theme of The Information Age and you can have a kino political spy thriller.

I love the idea of the Illuminati existing but as AI with people receiving nanomachine injections. Its like the Book of Revelation with Big Boss as the Antichrist who is to come.

But you guys are too dull to see the potential.

>>82953861
If this movie is successful you can bet your fern that a year later JJ Abrams will announce a Half Life or Portal film. I fucking hate that guy.

>>82959740
the script is a lie

the source material is never the problem, it's that they never do their stories justice. The fact is, these particular games or shows are thought highly of because they have particularly good stories, the novelty being that you normally don't get that in a game. When studios take these games, they want the audience, but they don't usually want to follow the story because they're either too lazy to make it work or too prideful to just retread the same story people already know. Therefore they'll keep releasing cookie cutter plots with video game texture packs so nerds can nerdgasm over recognizing imagery in the most shallow cash grabs imaginable, and then wonder why they didn't do well and assume "video game movies just don't work."

MAYBE ONCE ACTUALLY FOLLOW THE PLOT PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE, MAYBE TAKING THE UNIVERSE AND WRITING YOUR OWN STORY IN IT WILL COME OFF AS FANFICTION TO FANS AND ISN'T GOING TO BE AS GOOD AS A CULT CLASSIC STORY EVERYONE LIKES SO MUCH THEY WANT A MOVIE MADE OUT OF IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

Kong Skull Island was retarded schlock but it was the most enjoyable movie I've seen in a while. No ambiguity, no baseless sequel hook, just an entertaining movie with a happy, concrete ending. It was thoroughly entertaining and kept me entertained throughout, which can't be said of most shit these days.

The guy has a lot of love for the MGS franchise, so I could definitely see it playing out well, especially if they just do a trimmed down version The Shadow Moses incident or something.

The again, Duncan Jones said the same shit about Warcraft and had a much better pedigree than this guy, and that movie ended up like garbage.

came to post this, anyone who doesnt love this movie clearly does not understand its nuances and should just stick to watching anime and cartoons

>>82956428
Yep, he's a total fag.

I cringe when I see people cast anyone besides Bale as Solid Snake. Why? Because as Solid he can do a legit American snake voice but as Fucking Liquid seeing him with long blonde hair using the Queens English will make Solid look god based. Then as Solidus have him look like he is in his 60s with a very commanding voice and slimmer than his older brothers but put him in a realistic exoskeleton suit with artificial muscles and you will see a fucking monster who is able to wield his katanas then show him in the 80s as a teenager who looks like a fucking monster of a man then you have something special. So I would give Solidus and Big Boss their own looks a more square chin and normal nose as Solid and Liquid are not perfect clones so have differences in all Bales and based Metal Gear.

Sharlto Copley as Otacon and Daniel Day Lewis as Ocelot 80s and older = God based casting.

I always imagined Frank Jaeger as a white South Afrikaan played by Paul Bettany.

Snake Eater can use CGI for a twenty year old Lewis as Ocelot, but fuck that white hair off. Either brown or natural blonde.

Jared Leto as Raiden keep the brown hair but he would just work well.

>Nothing would have saved GitS

A better script would've saved it.
They just took random elements from all the other GitS properties and smooshed them all together until it became unmanageable gibberish, and totally ruined the Major's backstory.

If they'd started simple, like just doing a truncated version of 2nd Gig with just the Kuze/Individual Eleven storyline, it would've been great.

Oshii was at least smart enough to know you don't need to bother with complex origin stories for the Major's character, it's more interesting to draw that out over time with characterisation. Hollywood screenwriters are just total shit at character writing these days.

Nah. MGS was great because of all the subtle things, all the little detail that Kojima puts in. They won't make it in the movie. If you remove all the extra detail from an MGS story, those stories become sort of bland. Maybe MGS3 would work, it's a good story for a movie.

>>82957162

>>82953861
It can't be done.

And I wish this guy would stop shilling so hard for it to happen. Going so far as to put out of nowhere MGS references into Kong left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

Video game movies are the most pointless thing ever. With adaptations of books you're adding an extra visual element to the existing material, whereas to adapt a game to film you have to take away the most important element. I'm surprised anyone still tries to do this considering it's proved time and time again to be a guaranteed failure.

Anybody actually believed that this took place?

Yeah we need to remove all that problematic material about internet censorship and government control of culture, only alt-right manbabies care about that.

what a shitty, boring reference.

Name dropping is such a lazy way to reference something.

Everything after mgs3 is a fucking waste

4 is all fan bait
peace walker was a nothing-story with monster hunter trite gameplay
5 has awkward cutscenes, half the game is recycled from the first half, sprinting ruins the multiplayer, and the worst part is that if you mention any of this people act like it was all konami's fault

>>82966058
Yep, I always say that MGS is one of the best video game trilogies ever.

>>82966058
>people act like it was all konami's fault
Probably because it was.

Peace Walker had at least some interesting post-Boss development for Snake, but Hayter's throat cancer is just far too insufferable.

5's biggest problem was trying to be an open world game and a PSP game at the same time. Duality.

No it wasn't, Hideo Kojima has been a hack since 2004. I always defended him because MGS4 is basically bad "on purpose" to get back on the fanbase that he fucking hates, and Peace Walker was a handheld game so it was expected that it would be worse than the others. But MGSV being a giant pile of shit despite his best efforts and under no restrictions just confirms that he really did lose his touch years ago.

i think peace walker and 4 have thier up sides

I found 5 to be the most sparse and boring in the series. People complained about the MGS series being built upon setpieces but as soon as those are taken away i felt the barebones gameplay was no way near deep enough to fill the rest of the time. Especially when the game is constantly grading your performance and encouraging you NOT to experiment with new weapons/items and take a pure stealth non lethal approach. I felt pressured to just do a tranq no alert run every time because the game punished me for not doing so. Dont even get me started on the lack of bosses, mother base and complete lack of direction/story.

It felt to me like kojima fell in to the open world game trap that had been laid out by every other developer out there. The ubisoft jack off all trades master of none approach. The "you can approach a mission any way you want! but we really only want you to approach it this way because thats how the mission is designed" way. With side missions being nothing more than checklists, traveling being nothing more than cumbersome and upgrades being nothing more than stats raising in your menu.

They won't pull it off.

Kojima is one-of-a-kind who made his vision in the perfect medium for it. The series is greater than the sum of its parts. Even if they just did a one-to-one live action version of actual cutscenes form the game, it would fall short.
