The film was announced a few years ago.
The film and video game industries did not have very good relations in the past, since in the nineties and early 2000s we witnessed how producers brought some very well-known IPs to the big screen without having much idea about it, finding here examples such as the live-action Super Mario movie that did not even have the color of the plumber's eyes in common. However, in recent times This stigma has changed.
As a prime example we have Nintendo's own plumber, with a abysmal difference between his two films both in critics and at the box office At the same time, this boom in video game adaptations has even reached in series form with The Last of Us on HBO Max and Fallout on Prime Video. However, one of the most anticipated is the metal gear solid movie which will star Oscar Isaac and of which We have been able to learn new details.
The Metal Gear Solid movie is still in the script development phase
While Metal Gear Solid is becoming known for its video games, with which there is even a desire for Kojima to work on them again, it cannot be overlooked that The franchise film has been announced for yearsbut in all this time we have barely known any details about it. However, it seems that media such as IGN have recently picked up on a status update as commented by Avi Arad, the film's producer.
In this way, Arad has confirmed that They are still working on the scriptwhich on the one hand means that the project is moving forward, but on the other hand that they have not even finished the script development phase, although Arad has added that it is very excited about what's coming out.
Be that as it may, it should be noted that Metal Gear Solid is not an easy story to adaptsince Kojima's PlayStation game bordered on the cinema sector due to all the scenes, dialogue and stories it featured, which is something very difficult to condense into a two-hour film. Time will tell how this adaptation fares.
