I honestly couldnt think of anyone who can play snake. In my personal opinion i belive that it should be CGI. and ive heard that the story line is going to be completly different from the game..this just will not fly for me and many other fans. so to sum it up, the movie should be in CGI and should be based 100% on the story line. which means that their would be more than one movie being made. which would rock.

I agree. A part of me would love to see an MGS film, but I think that it can't be done in the spirit of the games. Sure they could do the Hollywood version, but MGS is more of an underground game sensation. If you can't handle the long cutscenes, than you can't enjoy the games because the story, I think is the primary reason people love the series. After playing almost all of the main games, and in my mind, the cinamtics make the film unneeded. I think we've already gotten the film through the game, with the exceptions of the gameplay between them. I think that the story is far too complex for most film makers to adapt it properly or even have the patience to understand it. Personally, I don't need the film or want it. I surely don't want Bale playing Snake. I think he's a decent actor, but Snakes voice is so important to the character, and we've heard his overly dramitic Batman voice, and I don't want that for Snake. I think that Snake would be faily easy to translate to an actor, but I think that He's been built up through the games so well that he already seems as real as a real actor could do, especially in MGS4. I really, really don't want Bale as Snake at all. Snake is so complex, driven, and established that it would be so hard for me to look at the actor and believe it.

and what the * is with david hayder having no involvement.. i might just boycott this film beacuse of this fact. hollywood is trying to turn this into another action flick with their favorite stars and its prolly gonna turn out to suck. they need to make it CGI and david hayder needs to do the voice.. it just wont be right without hayder
