Solid Snake Find’s His Live Action Blockbuster Director?

Deadline has shared some exciting news on the progress of the long rumored Metal Gear Solid live action film. Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts ( The Kings Of Summer) has been targeted to begin discussions on putting his stamp on the project. Still no official word from Sony Picture’s. Keeping finger’s crossed for this project, but to be honest, I am a bit nervous about a 20 year epic game franchise being handed over to a unseasoned director to handle the feature film. We shall see.

Sony is finally getting it in gear on Metal Gear Solid, the live-action feature based on the top-selling video game. The studio is in early talks with Jordan Vogt-Roberts to come aboard and direct the film. Vogt-Roberts helmed The Kings Of Summer. The project is produced by Avi Arad, and it’s being steered by production president Michael De Luca. This is a long-gestating project because it just took so long for the game creators and the studio to find themselves on the same page in how to tell the story of protagonist Solid Snake. Created by Hideo Kojima, the game has been around on PlayStation since 1998. Snake is a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from Foxhound, a renegade special forces unit. Snake must liberate two hostages — one the president of a major arms manufacturer — confront the terrorists, and stop them from launching a nuclear strike.
