That's the thing though, I see no merit or worth whatsoever in profit for profit's sake, it's decadent. Hence me not getting the point.To make money? Probably not a lot mind but if Resident Evil could turn a profit I'm sure Metal Gear could too.
And hey, one of these days a video game movie is bound to be smash hit and open the floodgates for lots more adaptions, right?

Uncharted will prolly be weak. Shawn Levy is a middle of the mall director, Tom Holland looks like he will forever be stuck looking like a teenager unfortunately. Seeing him hold a gun trying to flex is gonna look about as jarring as that kid in American Assassin.
Tom Holland has barely 21 years old. Of course that he will look young. We were trained by Hollywood to see guys like Andrew Garfield as teenagers. They aren't. Holland looks young simply because we aren't used to actors of his caliber getting the kind of spotlight he gets.Uncharted will prolly be weak.

Here's to hoping that's Tomb Raider. I see potential there. That and Uncharted.
And btw, I remember now that someone pointed out that Avi Arad producing means that it's not happening. Well, Arad doesn't have more access to Spider-Man films proper money - THANK GOD - so that's the reason we are seeing stuff like Venom - UGH - and Metal Gear Solid getting traction, not to mention Uncharted. I actually think Uncharted has an insane amount of potential and that whenever that starts, Holland will be a bit older and he's more than capable of pulling it off. Here's hoping.
As a former film student, you are dead wrong. Most films are not made to make money, unless you're strictcly talking about the mainstream commercial circuit. Which, let's face it, is the least important side of the industry to anyone who actually cares about it since it produces by far the highest rate of crap, though it also produces quite a few bona fide hits. Go check out most of the films celebrated at the festival circuit and you'll realize a great deal of them actually lose money and yet there's always someone lining up to fund Cannes winners since there are still some true patrons in the true sense of the word out there who care about prestige and quality much more than they care about actually profitting from their investments.All films are made to make money. Same for games. Not sure how people think these things get made, but that's the reality of the situation.
I hope it's an Uncharted prequel starring young Sully and younger Drake.
"Goddammit Nate!"

Check out three of the most widely celebrated films by the community to have come out in the last 5 years and their respective earnings and you'll realize just how innacurate your argument is:

this lives or dies by the casting.
Dream casting time!
Urban as Snake!
With you on this one, would work pretty well as a stand alone adaptation.But I do think a good Metal Gear film, based on MGS3 in particular, and done by a passionate team, could reach great heights.
I'm somewhat fine with it too. Not so much for games because it limits the type of AAA projects we get as players, but it works out fine for film since I enjoy both sides tremendously. I see no reason why I can't equally enjoy Logan and a Tarkovsky movie, especially since both the mainstream and the independent scenes remain healthy and keep thriving!Oh, I hear you. Yeah, I'm talking the mainstream. Never saw those films. I'll try to watch them eventually but my point still stands. Mainstream films - AND games - are made for money. And I'm fine with that.
Well, well, well... that could work. I could see it. Any other fan castings that you guys think it would make sense for Snake?
I've always thought Hugh Jackman could rock the shit out of the role, but I can't really see him being Solid and Big Boss, would be dope though.Well, well, well... that could work. I could see it. Any other fan castings that you guys think it would make sense for Snake?
Kurt Russell HAS to be old Snake if they ever end up adapting MGS4.letsKurt be honest.
It will end up as Scott Eastwood
Snake = Snake Plissken = Kurt Russells best Clint Eastwood impersonation = come full circle at Eastwoods Son.
I still would prefer Urban lol

HOT TAKE:
Chris Evans, Hugh Jackman and Kurt Russel: ALL OF THEM AS SNAKE.
We need suggestions for young snake lol. Hugh jackman would be perfect for old snake though
Speed Racer is a flawless masterpiece.I still need to watch that movie. I recently saw Speed Racer. I managed to watch half of it. I like Wacowski stuff, nice visual identity. But they tend to miss the mark.
its about late stage capitalism and how it corrupts our natural spirit of competition my man. spritle and chim chim are the uncorrupted youthIt had a sense of whimsy I could appreciate. I just don't think it landed it as flawlessly as it could. I don't know if I was nodding off during watching it but many times I asked myself "What is going on". What the heck is up with that kid and his monkey friend. Wait is this whacky races?
I enjoy Wacowski output though.
I personally think Cate Blanchett would be perfect for The Boss.Robin Wright is perfect for The Boss. I once saw someone say Daniel Day Lewis for Ocelot, and that would NEVER happen in a million years, but man that would be absolutely perfect, just picturing him acting out the Liquid possession scenes put the lunacy of the "I drink your milkshake" scene to shame. Gary Oldman could probably kick ass at it too.
Bryan Cranston as Colonel Campbell, Emily Blunt as Meryl. Otacon is a hard one, they'd probably go with someone with a comedy background.
