Hideo Kojima to be “very involved” with Metal Gear movie, considering video game tie-in

We don’t hear a lot of updates regarding the Metal Gear Solid movie (there’s a movie?), so I figured fans would appreciate hearing this bit of news. Creator Hideo Kojima not only intends to be “very involved” with the movie, he is also considering the possibility of a video game tie-in.

We don’t hear a lot of updates regarding the Metal Gear Solid movie (there’s a movie?), so I figured fans would appreciate hearing this bit of news. During the Spike VGA Awards, someone caught Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima for an interview, quickly grilling him for some details on the movie.

With translator at hand, Kojima said that the movie is “brewing, and it’s moving very slowly.” Considering how we first heard of the movie back in 2006, and how nothing much happened production side till today, I’d say “slowly” is pretty accurate.

Good news for fans though, Kojima says that he intends to be very involved with the project. Explains the translator: “obviously he’s not going to be in the director’s seat, but he will be very, very involved with the project.” Kojima is also considering a video game tie-in release with the movie, so you can at least rest easy knowing that the franchise won’t go the way of Dragonball. Here’s the interview so you can watch for yourselves:
