What about that Metal Gear Solid movie? Before the presser started, I talked to Konami's Aki Saito, who is handling the film negotiations. According to him, the contract is still being worked out. Kojima will not be directing. However, he will be acting as a producer. Says Saito:

Hollywood has great respect for Mr. Kojima. They want to meet with him. Kojima will be acting as a producer, but we don't know how involved he'll be as a producer. Often Hollywood adaptations have the original game creator involved at the beginning, but somewhere along the line they fall out of view. This is why it's very important for us to carefully pick the studio for this project.
​

Kojima is a great cineaste, and Konami does seem serious about bringing his vision to the screen. Regarding to potential directors, Saito says, "Paul Thomas Anderson is interested."

eh. i started a thread on this on the MGS movie a while back...but it fell off the radar due to the lack of news.
t:

im glad its kicking up again.
and kojima should be directing this anyway...the games are so bloody epic and cinematic.

lol

Yeah, I know but I wouldn't mind PTA doing it. I loved Magnolia and There will be Blood.

He seems to be the perfect guy to direct a serious movie as MGS.

So, when is this gonna get updated for Superherohype?

I'm fairly confident a director like PTA could do a good job of this film, but still, video game movies, they don't have a great past >.<

 

[J-Sentius]

This one is different, watch that videp I posted, it's practically a movie already.

and PTA isn't interested it was a mistake made by the guy who said it so its the other paul anderson who done the likes of resident evil and stuff....yay?

 

[Lighthouse]

Are we sure this is PT Anderson? If it is, then I'm all for it. If its somehow a misquote and its Paul W.S. Anderson, I'll start crying.
