At the Planet Hollywood Casino in Las Vegas, as part of the promotion for Sony’s “21”, Coming Soon caught up with Michael De Luca (writer of Judge Dredd, producer on Blade II, Zathura, Ghost Rider). In speaking with him, he revealed that now the writer’s strikes have ended, the development of the Metal Gear Solid movie has swung back into action.
De Luca also mentioned an upcoming meeting with Kurt Wimmer, director and writer of Equilibrium. A number of fans have previously expressed a desire to involve him in the game to movie adaptation — they may yet get their wish. His involvement isn’t yet confirmed and we can only speculate as to his potential role.

in my opinion, kurt is not the right guy. ultra violet suck. neil blomkamp would be a better choice
On a more bitter note, Mr Wimmer was also responsible for directing the awful Ultraviolet. Equilibrium was pretty good though.
I think the director for 3ooth would be great but on a side note it would be nice for De Lucca an hideo to do all the work so the story stays together an doesnt get screwed up like everyone else says(about ultraviolet)
i think Ridley Scott is the best choice.Only he can make the movie noble,exciting and epic.He can catch the very soul of Metal Gear Golid.
Wachowski Brothers is also a awesome choice . They can give the movie cool concept .
if the two above not directing,Christopher Nolan would be great. Bryan Singer and Len wiseman and Alfonso Cuaron are three proper choice.
According to the game series itself , HIDEO KOJIMA has a great movie taste , if he make effort to the production of the movie , he wouldn’t allow a stupid third-class(even second-class) director ruin the world he created.
Honestly, for me i think Micheal Bay would be a good director cuz if you really look at, his movies it kinda looks like how metal gear is made, with the grapics and the stories.
I am a massive metal gear fan, i hav been a fan of the series since i was 15 years old,(i am 24 now) and hav all the games. A lot of fans are doubting the movie saying it will suck. Well this is one thing i can ensure it wont. Metal Gear Solid will be in my opition be the best flim of the year for 2009, 2010 what year its goin 2 be released. Take everything into account. Look at the detail of MGS4 on the using the sheer power of the PS3. It all already looks like a epic hollywood blockbuster. The realsim using bly-ray techology, dolby sound, the animation of the characters in realtime. Just imaige what cinema can do with a MGS movie? Get to even better qualiy wid good picture quality, with world-class costune design, and good special eefects and fight scences and action as well as stealth too. Also CGI will play its part 2. Just look at the games. They have these elments already. Just think what it will be like in the movie? Metal Gear the flim will surely be one of the best lookin visval lookin movies, wid amazing action, CGI, special effects, so it will be worth just goin to see it for that. As for the story? As long as they stick to the same storyline as the gameoutline, with a good writer, and hideo koijma is heavliy involed is will be one of the movies of the year. If they get those things right wid a gud director, gud crew, gud cast, metal gear wont fail. No way. They have to get it right. The frachise is 20 years old. The Mear Gear Series is legendly. Not just the games and its heros and villians, armies,soldiers, weapons, its metal gear robots, it orgaizetions, but also its creation. It artwork. Also metal gears, comic series. The comic animation metal gear: portable ops, was the cut-scence and spict for that game. Also for the graphic novel as well, the diagtal ones.And the storyline as well, as metal gear has the best stories in games. The franise has so much to offer. And it also has the greatest hero and charater in video game history Solid Snake, who along with BigBoss is the greatest game hero ever. I belive Metal Gear will succend as a movie. Stan Lee creator of spider-man, is a fan of koijma, and the franschie, as well of dozens of other movie directors and producers. Michael De Luca the flims producer is a fan of the series, and is dememted it will succed. Metal Gear is the G.I. Joe of the 21 century, and with a decent director, good sprcit, and a leading star as snake it will be a sucess. This movie will not fail. UK Mens mag, is lookin forward 2 this movie and i can understand way. A legendly hero and one-army, Solid Snake the super soldier, brill action, special effects, endless armies of soldiers, cool special focres units, other cool heros, super-ace villians, big nuclear walking tanks, robot nijnas, cool weapons and gadets with a amazing plot. This movie will take u by suprise. I just cant find any info 4 it at the moment? I known that kurt willer may be director, but who is in the running 4 Snake? I known christain bale is in the running 2 play snake, but who else is? When will a director be relevad? When is the movie comin out? But i cant wait? Metal Gear Solid the Movie will rule just like the games.
no, not christian bale. CLINT EASTWOOD! his raspy voice remineds me of old snake.
I want Eric Bana to role as solid snake not christian bale.
