It hasn't been decided yet. I think Bale would do okay as young Snake.

:shock: He's everywhere! I think he'd make a good Snake, though. Has the movie actually been confirmed? :o Or are we all speculating? D:

Maybe if they get a big-name actor on the project it won't suck as bad as every other video game movie... never mind, he's in Terminator, too.

I think he'd do well....but yea there has been lately an overdose of Bale.....again a lot depends on who's directing the movie. I'll watch the movie cuz i'm a fan of the series but i doubt it'll go down well with the general public.

Christian Bale is a good actor. The Prestige, The Machinist, among many others, all excellent roles. I could see him as a Young Snake.

Hugh Jackman as Snake sounds a lot better to me. He even looks like Snake to some degree. More than Christian Bale anyway.

I'd rather they skip the live action nonsense, animate a film in the same style as the game's cutscenes, and bring back David Hayter.

This. The movie without David's voice is just unacceptable.

I don't think he'd be a good Snake, he's also too popular right now, like Shia La Beof

I doubt the movie will be good... The games story line is just too wierd in the sense of a conventional script to have a movie taken seriously.. Don't make it.. It would be hilarious if Kurt Russel played as old snake.. Seeing as Snake was based off of Kurt Russel's Character, Snake Plisskin, in the movie Escape from New York.

What sucks is the age of the action movie is dead. So gone are the days of Van Damme, Arnold, Sly, Steven Segal, and Chuck...even asian stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li are going to the wayside. So what we have are Dawsons Creek kids becoming superheroes to appeal to a cross demographic. Dont get me wrong Christian Bale was just fine in Batman..but that is because Batmans alterego is a goodlooking playboy. Don't know if I buy him as a grizzeld war vet though..

I only know the guy from Snake's voice and read somewhere that he wrote the script for X-Men. Does he look physically similar to Snake and is a good actor?

I think he can pull it off, but somehow I think the film will fall prey to the movie/game tie-in jinx.

Maybe they'll make a game based upon the movie based upon the game. That'd be fun.

Your post immediatly got me thinking of Shia LaBeouf as Snake, making me shoot Coke out of my nostrils.

Why do people think that someone has to look EXACTLY LIKE the character in order for it to be a good portrayal? It's about the ACTUAL protrayal! Christian Bale is one of the best actors of our generation, he's a LEGIT action-capable actor, and he doesn't take roles in movies that aren't character driven with a good story.

I don't understand how people could doubt Bale. Hugh Jackman would be really good, too, but he's more of a mainstream actor. Bale will understand the character, motivations, reasoning, all sorts of things, on a much deeper level than most other actors would. He's a devoted guy, and if you read the Nuts mag article the rumor started in, you know that he already knows a decent amount of the character.

Here's hoping that Bale gets the part.

I think he'd be a good choice. He's a great actor and he even looks kind of like Snake with a beard.

He's a far better actor than Shia Le Beouf. Shia Le Beouf is mediocre. :P

Yes please! *drools* But I still think that the original voice, David Hayten, should be used... I don't think I could get used to Bale talking as Snake...

Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman would both be good, I think. I like the previous suggestion of Kurt Russell as Old Snake.

Why all the Christian Bale hate? He's an excellent actor...oh and Hugh Jackman seems too old for the part unless they are going for the close to retirement age.

Kurt Russell Would have been perfect back in the days (anyone remember Snake Pliskin?), but now, yeah I guess Christian Bale would be a decent snake.

I hope they do go for Bale. I'm happy just as long as they don't pick Jackman -- if there is one thing Solid Snake is not then that is a Wolverine-type character, Don't get me wrong, Jackman's a good actor, but if he were to be picked for the role, then comparisons between SS and Wolverine would start to happen.

That was actually my second thought for a Snake if the movie is gonna be made. Jackman is more badass than Bale, to me, and I'd actually love him more as Snake. Plus he's sexier than Bale :P

Actually, now that I think about it, you're correct. I'd much rather have Hugh Jackman as Solid Snake.
