Metal Gear Solid Movie

I didn't see a thread so I decided to post this. Even though it's kind of old news, I'll post the wikipedia excerpt about it

In May 2006, Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima announced that a film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid was in development. The film was purported to be in English, said to be released some time in 2009. [15] Kojima also announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo later that month that he had negotiated a contract with a party in Hollywood to adapt the video game into a film.[16] Kojima also considered Alaska as the site of the film production, due to the game's setting in the state.[17]

David Hayter, the English voice actor for Solid Snake, had submitted his take for the movie but executives have passed on his script.[18] He has previously written the screenplay to X-Men and co-written X2 and The Scorpion King. There has since been a petition web site started in the hopes of getting David Hayter involved with the project.

Producer Michael DeLuca has expressed interest in having Equilibrium director Kurt Wimmer write the script for the movie. Later on Kurt Wimmer was opted to direct the movie adaptation.[19] However, Wimmer will not take part in the directing for the film. He was only approached to pitch a take on adapting the Metal Gear Solid franchise.[20] Konami's Aki Saito had commented that There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson was interested,[21] but DeLuca dismissed the claim. According to an interview in Nuts Magazine actor Christian Bale is interested in playing Solid Snake in the film. [22]

I think Kurt Russel would make a good Solid Snake.

I'm still pissed that they just kind of pushed David out of the project. D:
