Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid is sneaking into cinemas according to a report from Deadline, which says Sony Pictures has landed a deal for the rights to a film adaptation of the complex conspiracy caper.
British writer Jay Basu is attached, though Kojima-san could have input. It’s also said Jordan Vogt-Roberts will be directing MGS, which is based off the 1998 release on the original PlayStation.
The original Metal Gear Solid involved Snake infiltrating a nuclear weapons facility to find and take out the threat from rogue unit FOXHOUND. To this day it’s thought of as a landmark release in the history of video games, and went on to sell over six million copies.
Who will Sony Pictures cast as Solid Snake? Check out the original PSOne trailer below.
