There have been a lot of video game movies in recent years of varying qualities, but one game that seems almost perfectly suited for the cinema experience is Konami's "Metal Gear Solid" and now that the writers strike is over, De Luca and Columbia Pictures can get back in gear (ha ha) and move forward with bringing the game to the big screen.

IF DAVID HAYTER IS NOT CAST AS SNAKE THEN I WILL GO MUG AN OLD LADY AND STEAL HER PURSE!
I'm being serious here!

They'll probably get Keanu Reeves.

Vulcan Raven fires his shot, Snake does his backflip, and Raven drives his tank out.
Snake: "Whoa."

Metal Gear Solid is one of the most cinematic video game ever made...and out of all the games that I can think of is probably the only one that could translate into a really good movie...I hope...

I was thinking Sylvester Stalone personally...in all seriousness though, I agree with Ryan...of course this would probably mean that the Metal Gear Solid movie would have to be done in CGI but really...I can't imagine anyone else as Snake except David...

Now THAT, would be cool! A MGS Movie would totally Rock.I wonder if they would take a specific storyline from one of the games or mix them all up?

I'm personally hoping for some Final Fantasy: Spirits Within-level CG rather than live-action. I doubt it will happen, but it would, in my opinion, be the best way to make the fans happy, which is the only way this movie will do well.

Well David Hayter DOES look a bit like Snake to begin with...
SO I SAY HE MUST BE CAST SINCE HE DOES THE VOICE.

I must see it. To be honest, I haven't played the games yet (go ahead and shoot me), but I plan to as soon as possible.
And yes, after hearing David Hayter, they MUST have David, or its going to be 25% less awesome.

no i say 50% less awesome, and David is the only one with that " oops that was acid a gaggled" voice. Many copiers only one real Snake

Like everyone else has said, they have GOT to get David Hayter, or it will fail.
Also...another big thing that nobody's mentioned yet-- if Hideo Kojima isn't involved, then this movie has a 75% higher chance of being a total piece of crap.

Kojima pretty much already demanded that he be involved.

WHAT.
I repeat myself.

They can't do that. David Hayter IS Solid Snake.
@ShiHi: Tom Cruise can play Johnny Sasaki. Maybe. XD

They should at least give David Hayter a cameo - if not a shot at writing the screenplay (he did write the screenplay for X-men, after all).

Heck, He was also involved with the translation of the MGS scripts!
