The director of the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie, Jordan Vogt-Roberts has spoken about his plans for the film - including the characters he'd like to include.
"I mean, I'm a big Sniper Wolf fan," Vogt-Roberts told IGN whilst promoting his new film, Kong: Skull Island, "and when we were sitting down to think about the script at a certain point it was like, 'is Cyborg Ninja in this movie or not?' and the part of me that was a little kid was like, 'there's no world in which I'm ever going to make a Metal Gear movie that Cyborg Ninja is not going to be in.' It's really easy to be like, 'it's a good character to save for the second one,' but no, no, no."
Vogt-Roberts also explained that he's considering whether to include fourth wall-breaking sections, in the style of Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid (who spoke directly to the player about other games they had played):
"I actually do think that considering breaking the fourth wall is an important part of potentially what that movie would be. Finding a way to do that in an interesting way," he explained. "I think things like Deadpool have actually shown that you can play with that conceit these days.
"To me, the fourth wall breaking is a little less important than the walking philosophies and ideologies those characters represent, and getting that right and the tone right and things like that. If breaking the fourth wall makes sense, I'm all for it, [but] I'm more interested in the 'Kojima conversations' about whatever song came out then or whatever - it's that stuff that it just absolutely needs."
Vogt-Roberts has spoken previously about how he wants to do series creator Hideo Kojima justice with the film, a point he reiterated to us:
"If you make a Metal Gear movie it needs to be [...] completely committed to one tone but then goofy the next moment, and then stylised and bizarre but then beautiful and reflective, and just that whole spectrum of things that is Kojima's voice."
If you wanted proof of just how far Vogt-Roberts' love for Metal Gear goes, look no further than his latest movie - the director points out that a boat in Kong is named Gray Fox, after the Metal Gear character of the same name.
Psycho Mantis being in MGS1
breaking the fourth wall tho? gotta think on that one
