Kotaku • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Sony has signed a first-look deal with directing duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, who will develop a Metal Gear Solid movie through Columbia Pictures as part of their new production company, Wonderlab.
- Lipovsky and Stein expressed enthusiasm about adapting Hideo Kojima’s iconic stealth-action game, though Kojima himself is not expected to be involved in the production.
- Previous attempts to make a Metal Gear Solid film, including a version directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts with Oscar Isaac rumored to star, have stalled with no recent updates, suggesting those plans are no longer active.
- Despite the historically poor track record of video game adaptations, the current success of game-based media like the Mario film and Fallout series indicates a growing industry commitment to such projects.
- While the exact release date and cast remain unknown, industry trends suggest a Metal Gear Solid movie is likely to be produced in the near future, potentially with different creative leads.
