Metal Gear Solid-filmatiseringen har været længe undervejs, men i løbet af de seneste par måneder lader det virkelig til, at filmen langsomt er ved at dukke op i horisonten, og det sker primært via inkluderingen af en ny passioneret instruktør, Jordan Vogt-Roberts.
Roberts har sin nye film, Kong: Skull Island i biograferne, og nu bliver han rost til skyerne af Hideo Kojima selv.
For nylig har han nemlig talt meget om sin kommende filmatisering af Metal Gear Solid, og alt imens har Kojima set Kong: Skull Island i biograferne, og lader til at være ganske glad - han har nemlig kaldt Roberts for et geni via Twitter.
Herunder kan du læse nogle af de tanker som Roberts har gjort sig omkring filmen i et interview med IGN:
"I mean, I'm a big Sniper Wolf fan, and when we were sitting down to think about the script at a certain point it was like, 'is Cyborg Ninja in this movie or not?' and the part of me that was a little kid was like, 'there's no world in which I'm ever going to make a Metal Gear movie that Cyborg Ninja is not going to be in.' It's really easy to be like, 'it's a good character to save for the second one,' but no, no, no."
"I actually do think that considering breaking the fourth wall is an important part of potentially what that movie would be. Finding a way to do that in an interesting way. I think things like Deadpool have actually shown that you can play with that conceit these days.
"To me, the fourth wall breaking is a little less important than the walking philosophies and ideologies those characters represent, and getting that right and the tone right and things like that. If breaking the fourth wall makes sense, I'm all for it, [but] I'm more interested in the 'Kojima conversations' about whatever song came out then or whatever - it's that stuff that it just absolutely needs."
