You just know Kojima's gonna end up taking over director position because the original director will screw up something from the story....unless its non-canon, then he might not care.

And Christian Bale seems like Snake if he grows some scruff and dons the bandanna.

I guess you have never watched the movie Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. Solid Snake is practicaly based on that guy's personality.

The final boss would be Bill Gates attached with super-technology equipments. Along with WINDOWS VISTA built into it to fight Otacon's hacking skills.

Nooo I don't want Metal Gear to be played by real people. If you ask me I think it'd be better off animated like Advent Children.

Movies based on games are horrible. -_-
