Metal Gear Solid movie 'in the works'

Dead Man Toker · Aug 30, 2012

The event kicked off with a speech from Konami CEO Fumiaki Tanaka, praising Kojima Productions. Hideo Kojima then took the stage and introduced a presentation on the history of the Metal Gear franchise, Kojima Productions, Konami and the Japanese games industry.

After a section on how Metal Gear debuted the practice of promoting games with teaser and trailers, Kojima made a neat segue to confirm a Metal Gear Solid movie in the works at Columbia Pictures. Avi Arad, producer of The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man, is attached to the project.

Arad took to the stage and said Metal Gear’s 25 year history proves it is a “phenomenon”. He said he’s spent years bringing comics to the big screen, making superheroes one of the most popular film genres today, but that video games are the new comic books. He promised to take his time and get the film right, vowed to stay true to the themes of the games, praised Metal Gear Solid as the first interactive movie, and generally baffled a room full of non-English speakers be refusing to get off stage for over eight minutes.

The movie’s existence was signalled before the event began by backgrounds brought out for photographers, as one attendee shared.
Konami hasn’t allowed any live streams, but let the audience keep their phones, so we’re receiving plenty of updates. Attendees spotted former PlayStation lead engineer Ken Kutaragi, Grasshopper Manufacture’s Goichi Suda, Platinum Games leader Atsushi Inaba and ex-Team Ico leader Fumito Ueda in the audience. We’ll update as more details become available.

Although keeping mum on details, Kojima Productions revealed this week that the event will include a demonstration of the FOX Engine, a new Hideo Kojima game, and something that will ‘shake the industry’. \t\t\t \t\t
