Okay so let me make things clear for those who don't know jack shit about Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear is not just one common game, it's more than a game, there's a whole story about it, the main storyline has about 8 games in all

These are the order in which how the games were/will be released:

Metal Gear (1987)
Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge (1990)
Metal Gear Solid (1998)
Metal Gear Solid 2 (2001)
Metal Gear Solid 3 (2004)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (2006)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (2008)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (2010)
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (2013)



And this is how you put them so they chronologically make sense as a story:

============================ Cold War/Philosophers Legacy
Metal Gear Solid 3 (Year 1964)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (Year 1970)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (Year 1974)
--------------------------------------- End of the Cold War, start of "Outer Heaven"
Metal Gear (Year 1995)
Metal Gear 2 (Year 1999)
Metal Gear Solid (Year 2005)
--------------------------------------- Start of "The Patriots"
Metal Gear Solid 2 (Years 2007 and 2009)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (Year 2014)
============================ End of "The Philosophers", "The Patriots" and"Outer Heaven"

Metal Gear Rising: Reveangance (Year ????)

The movie that we are expecting to be released is METAL GEAR SOLID, because it's some sort of a milestone and it's where it get's mostly interesting throughout the whole story, and also because it was released for Playstation 1 in 1998, being a hit and da bomb as graphics comparison in those days. But every Metal Gear Solid fan knows that it's not the graphics that makes Metal Gear Solid 1 great, but the story, excellent voice acting, gloomy atmosphere and great soundtracks.


METAL GEAR SOLID:

The story is set sometime between February 21st and 27th, 2005, six years after the events of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (not to be confused with Metal Gear Solid 2). A genetically enhanced, renegade special forces unit, FOXHOUND, leads an armed uprising on a remote island in Alaska's Fox Archipelago. This island, codenamed "Shadow Moses", is the site of a nuclear weapons disposal facility. The forces that seized this island, led by a mercenary known as Liquid Snake, have acquired the nuclear-capable mecha, Metal Gear REX, and are threatening the U.S government with a nuclear reprisal if they do not receive the remains of the "legendary mercenary" Big Boss within 24 hours.

Solid Snake is forced out of retirement and is dispatched at the request of Colonel Roy Campbell to penetrate the terrorists' defenses and neutralize the threat. Snake is also ordered to locate two hostages: DARPA Chief Donald Anderson, and ArmsTech president Kenneth Baker. Colonel Campbell's daughter, at the time believed to be niece, Meryl Silverburgh, is also held captive in the facility after refusing to take part in the uprising. Snake enters the facility via an air vent and eventually locates Anderson in a cell. He informs Snake of the new Metal Gear REX unit housed at the facility and how he can prevent it from being launched using a secret detonation override code, but then suddenly dies of a heart attack. Meryl, who is held in an adjoining cell, manages to break out and assist Snake in escaping as enemy soldiers are alerted to his presence. Snake then locates Baker. Whilst attempting to free him, Snake is confronted by Revolver Ocelot, who challenges Snake to a gunfight, which is interrupted by a mysterious cyborg ninja who cuts off Ocelot's right hand. Baker briefs Snake on the Metal Gear project and advises him to contact Meryl, whom he gave a PAL card that could be used to prevent the launch; but, like the DARPA Chief, he suddenly dies of a heart attack.

Snake then contacts Meryl via codec, and agrees to meet her in the base's warhead disposal area on the condition that he contacts Metal Gear's designer, Dr. Hal "Otacon" Emmerich. As he emerges onto a canyon, Snake receives an anonymous codec call. The mysterious voice calls himself "Deepthroat" and warns Snake of a tank ambush up ahead. Snake is confronted by Vulcan Raven in an M1 tank, but manages to defeat the two gunners and proceeds to the warhead disposal area. Snake locates Otacon in his lab. The ninja reappears, and Snake realizes that it is actually his formerly deceased ally Gray Fox. Otacon agrees to aid Snake remotely, using special camouflage to procure information and supplies while he remains invisible. Snake meets with Meryl and agrees for her to accompany him on his mission. Meryl gives Snake the PAL card Baker gave her. As they head for the underground base, Meryl becomes possessed by Psycho Mantis's mind control tune and pulls her gun on Snake. Snake disarms Meryl and defeats Psycho Mantis who, before he dies, informs Snake that he read Meryl's mind, and discovered that he has "a large place" in her heart. After they reach the underground passageway, Sniper Wolf ambushes them; wounds Meryl; and, after a brief duel, captures Snake.

While Snake is imprisoned, Liquid confirms Snake's suspicion that they are twin brothers. Snake is then tortured by Ocelot and the player can choose whether or not to give in to the torture. When Snake is taken to his cell, he discovers Anderson's body lying in the corner, drained of blood and looking decomposed for days. Eventually Snake is able to escape his cell.

As Snake makes his way up the facility's communications tower, he is ambushed by Liquid in a Hind-D attack helicopter, but swiftly defeats him. As he emerges from the tower onto the snowfield, he is confronted once again by Sniper Wolf. This time, however, Snake defeats and kills Wolf in front of a grief-stricken Otacon, who was infatuated with her. Nonetheless, Otacon continues to aid Snake.

Snake continues on to REX's hangar, while Vulcan Raven lies in wait. Raven, having shamanistic intuition, is able to discern Snake's heritage. He can also tell that Snake is a clone, saying that he is "from another world." Snake and Raven battle it out in a freezer warehouse, which results in Raven's death. During his death scene, Raven tells Snake that the man he saw die in front of his eyes was not the DARPA Chief but Decoy Octopus, a member of FOXHOUND. Raven leaves Snake with a cryptic message of his violent future before being devoured by ravens.

Infiltrating Metal Gear's hangar, Snake overhears Liquid and Ocelot preparing the launch sequence for Metal Gear REX. Thinking he is deactivating it by using the PAL card, Snake activates Metal Gear REX. Liquid then reveals his true colors, having impersonated Master Miller from the beginning of the operation. Liquid informs Snake that his entire mission was manipulated by the renegades to allow the launch of the nuclear weapon. Liquid explains that they are the product of the Les Enfants Terribles project, a government-sponsored effort to clone Big Boss, that was conducted during the 1970s. Liquid explains that Snake received all of Big Boss' dominant genes, while he received all of the recessive genes. He also reveals to Snake the government's true reason for sending him in: the reprogrammed Foie virus would kill all the members of FOXHOUND, allowing the government to retrieve REX undamaged.

Liquid assumes control of Metal Gear REX and a battle ensues. Gray Fox suddenly appears and destroys REX's radome and dies trying to fend off the bipedal tank from Snake. Snake destroys Metal Gear REX and is challenged again by Liquid in person. He fights Liquid atop REX and defeats him after knocking him over the edge. He is then reunited with Meryl or Otacon, depending on the player's actions. They escape through an underground tunnel, while being chased by Liquid, in a jeep. After the two vehicles crash at the tunnel entrance, Liquid emerges and pulls a gun on Snake but suddenly dies from the Foie virus. Colonel Campbell, briefly ousted from command of the mission, calls off a nuclear air strike intended to obliterate the evidence of the day's events and officially declares Snake killed in action to stop the US government's search for him in the future.

After the end credits, the player finds out that Snake is the one with recessive genes whilst Liquid had the dominant genes. Solid Snake is revealed to have an indeterminate amount of time left before Foie kills him. Ocelot is revealed to be a double agent for the President of the United States. His intention was to obtain Baker's disk containing Metal Gear's specifications and deliver it to the President, and kill whoever knew of his true motives, one reason for his "accidental" killing of the DARPA Chief.

Who would you cast as what character?

[Stefan]

The games are kinda like movies already. I think a live-action movie would be great though!

[MarkyMark]

It would be cool if they can make it good, but there is a lot of stuff to the games. It would be kind of hard to get everything really accurate.

[Incal]

Who would you cast as what character?

The Solid Snake character is obviously inspired on Kurt Russell's Snake Plissken from Escape from New York. As a matter of fact Solid uses that same name when he was helping Raiden.

[Mraz]

Snake? Snake? Snaaaaake!
Don't need a movie replay MGS, you can't have a better senario.
I think I'm gonna dl it on emulator, my best PS1 game ever with FF8.

[Virtuous]

Yeah, Metal Gear Solid is already a movie by itself, kind of a playable movie, but I'd like to see how it would look like to be a movie for real...there's a huge chance that it would suck if they changed the plot to adapt it to a more Hollywood style movie.

As for the cast I'm not sure where to start, they say Christian Bale might be good as Snake, what about Hugh Jackman?





They both look similar to Solid Snake, Hugh looks more mature though, like Snake in MGS2.

[Virtuous]

Gary Oldman as Ocelot, hands down.

[Virtuous]

Sean Bean as Liquid Snake

Solid Snake

Much as Metal Gear began as a pastiche of action movies of the time, Solid Snake began as a pastiche of contemporary action movie heroes. For example, on the cover artwork of the original Metal Gear, he resembles Michael Biehn in The Terminator, and the in-game portrait of Snake in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake resembles Mel Gibson in the game's opening sequence.[47] Solid Snake was even named after another fictional special forces operative: Snake Plissken, Kurt Russell's character in Escape from New York.[48][49] In Guns of the Patriots, Snake is modeled after Lee Van Cleef, who appeared in Escape from New York.[50] His real name, David, is a tribute to the film 2001: A Space Odyssey that has a character with the same name.[51] Kojima later described Snake's role in the original Metal Gear as the "player's presence", contrasting the defined personality Solid Snake acquired in Metal Gear Solid.[52]

In addition to expanding Solid Snake's backstory, as the first Metal Gear game to feature voice acting Metal Gear Solid established his characteristic voice and appearance.[53] Yoji Shinkawa's Solid Snake design, characterized by his navy blue bandanna and "sneaking suit", would serve as the template for all future incarnations of Snake in later Metal Gear games. According to Shinkawa, Snake's physique in Metal Gear Solid was based on that of action star Jean-Claude Van Damme, while his facial appearance in the same game was inspired by actor Christopher Walken. Shinkawa described his rendition of Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid as a "middle ground" between the younger Snake who graced the cover artwork of the first Metal Gear and the middle-aged Snake from the MSX2 version of Metal Gear 2.[49][54] For the initial events from the Big Shell chapter from Metal Gear Solid 2, Snake's visual appearance was sightly modified with his hair being more blonde.[55] Solid Snake became one of the characters easiest to draw by Shinkawa as he notes that his appearance is consistence, suffering minor changes across the games
