Metal Gear Solid (film)

In May 2006, Hideo Kojima announced that a film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid was in development. The film was purported to be in English, though a release date was not yet established. Kojima also announced at E3 later that month that he had negotiated a contract with a party in Hollywood to adapt the video game into a film. Kojima also considered Alaska as the site of the film production, due to the game's setting in the state.

David Hayter has submitted his take for the movie but executives have passed on the script.

The film's producer, Michael DeLuca, expressed interest in having Equilibrium director Kurt Wimmer write the script for the movie, and was thought to be directing it as well. However, Wimmer stated that he has no involvement with the film and was only approached to pitch a take on adapting the Metal Gear franchise.

In an interview with men's magazine Nuts, actor Christian Bale said that is interested in playing Solid Snake in the movie. However, in a 2009 interview with MTV he denied talking about a film version of the game, though he stated that he has played Metal Gear Solid or a game in the Metal Gear series.

Despite a 2009/2010 release date, there has been little information on the movie's development, causing speculation that the movie is in development hell.
