Metal gear solid the movie?

Now for the big fans of the series this would come to no shock but to a casual I know the story and played the console games gamer (like myself) this came to a shock to me. Apparently in 2006 at E3 creator of the metal gear series Hideo Kojima stated that he gained a contract with some people in Hollywood to make a film of the game and it would be filmed in Alaska. where the game took place.

In the next two years it would be revealed that Sony pictures was going to be involved in producing the film along with Michael De Luca who also produced the second Austin powers movie and boogie night and that Kurt Wimmer who wrote and directed ultraviolet and equilibrium to write and direct this film. But was later stated not to be involved with the film and was one of the first of many people they went to. Another note is that the English voice of solid snake David Hayter submitted a take for the movie and a script to Konami but it was rejected.

Another interesting story is that Christian Bale stated that he was interested in the role in June of 2008. But a year later he denied talking about a film version of the game and gave a confusing answer whether has even played the series at all. In 2009 Jeremy Bolt producer of the 6 resident evil movie afterlife and director Paul W.S. Anderson are interested in doing an adaptation of the film for the big screen. Now the project might not come out and or it will.
Now for my opinion why do metal gear solid first why not the original Japanese version of metal gear and then work your way to metal gear solid because believe it or not people might get confused about certain people in this film( I.E big boss and "McDonald miller") and really who will go see this movie fans of the series who know all of the backstory yes but then you have people who want to see an action movie and MOVIE CRITICS who might have never looked at the series. so what I think they should do is take the original game make it HD take out all of the gameplay moments and add new cutscenes and sell it as a DVD. I mean that's what they did for most of mgs 4.
