I can't imagine all of this will actually be in the movie. Or half of it. Or... any of it. Or if the movie even happens.

It's like someone who has passing familiarity with the series but doesn't know any of the details was asked to make concept art using only screenshots given to him via the "random" button on the MGS wiki and not being allowed to read any of the articles.

This movie has potential. Vogt-Roberts knows what he's doing and is a huge fan. He has already shown that he can make a well-received blockbuster that has a distinct style (and a ton of film and anime references).

On the other hand you could have said the same about Duncan Jones and Warcraft. Though apparently Blizzard was very hands-on with that while Konami clearly do not care anymore.

Metal Gear Solid will be an awful movie considering each video game has an absolutely horrible story. They're not even good by video game standards. Pretty much each game seems like it was written by M Night Shyamylan on crack. Did you like my twists?! Mind blown.

did anyone tell this supposed fan of the game(s) that the first game doesn't even feature Metal Gear Rex or Big Boss prominently? and Grey Fox isn't a rival or the enemy...

or that Shadow Moses Snake never fought the Skulls...

I did

he wanted to set the mood and commissioned a ton of art that's inaccurate towards the source material

concept art is usually like the picture detailing Snake's outfit, or the solider looking at Rex

If Young Snake battling Dwarf Gekkos and chasing Ray on horseback is setting the mood and giving us an idea of how the movie is supposed to look like then yikes

I wanted cinematic key frames to express the world so people could reference the script and understand the world of the film without having to be knowledgeable with the games cut scenes, characters or environments, Vogt-Roberts tells me.

He also did it to help get the film written, as art can help influence the direction the script takes as much as the script dictates whats getting drawn.

It looks really cool and this argument is super dumb

enjoy the pics and wait

I would much rather the director do his own thing than try to 1:1 copy MGS' convoluted canon instead of nailing its spirit, and that pic of Snake vs the Cyborg Ninja where he's covered in laser sights is so MGS it hurts

This!

MGS games were already movies of the story.

If 8 year olds still played Chrono Trigger, Crono would be in a lot better shape. >_>

Not surprising in the slightest that concept art for a video game movie would be better than the movie itself. However, that is some damn good concept art. Found some new wallpapers even.

If all of that could somehow possibly make it in, that would make for a terrific movie. Just weird enough for MGS.

too bad there's a 0% chance of that happening

So you think that because his concept art didn't directly recreate MGS scenes he is a) not really a fan of the series and b) the movie will be automatically bad?

What point are you actually making beyond being really picky and unnecessarily literal?
