Don't the comic and the DGN vary slightly in their presentation, though? Or is the game just straight cuts from the comic, with a video-like presentation?

I'm sure Kojima said that he wanted the movie to take place in Alaska. I think that MGS1 would translate better as a movie than MGS2, and perhaps Kojima thinks so too.Squallidus wrote:Big Shell Incident counts? ^^ It's more of an 'orchestrated recreation'.87th wrote:In MetalGear 1+2 Snake was British/Japanese, but they made him American/Japanese for MGS.

I'd still rather see movies of MG and MG2:SS. Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land deserve to be given full production treatment.Cyan Garamonde wrote:I'm sure Kojima said that he wanted the movie to take place in Alaska.

What kind of way is that to honor the game? You obviously love and respect Kojima's work, so why would you want to take it out of its originally designated context. The games are best left as games and nothing more, even if they are as near a cinematic presentation as any game out there. You can't possibly replicate that same effect on film, and why would you even want to? I'd be more inspired to create my own spy-thriller, rather than copy Kojima's work page for page. As far as I'm concerned, it would be no better than the mass amounts of remakes that are produced each year. It's not that I mean to criticize your ambitions, I merely question if your heart is in the right place.OtakupunkX wrote:So one of my (rather ambitious) long-term goals in life was to direct a non-sucky, ridiculously high-budget Metal Gear movie (based off MGS1, I feel that it would make the game-to-film transition well), even if it took forever to work my film career up to the point that I could do it.
Whoa, pump the brakes, Missing. You might feel that it is not right to make a Metal Gear film but people have the right to their own opinion. I highly doubt that OtakupunkX's heart is not in the right place, seeing as how he said he would work his way up to making the movie until he could do it well (big budget).Missing wrote:What kind of way is that to honor the game?

Trust me man, my heart is in the right place. I wouldn't want to do a Metal Gear movie if I thought it would end up half-assed. That's why I'm not trying to make it now and why I would've waited until I'm older, had more directorial experience, and CG effects looked less fake to make the thing.Missing wrote:It's not that I mean to criticize your ambitions, I merely question if your heart is in the right place.
