Over at FilmRot they’ve got another great rumour from the UK Teletext service, true or not it’s an interesting one and I guess one that’s going to get fans of the games quite excited. Although possibly not in the positive sense.
Teletext UK are alleging that the upcoming movie-adaptation of Metal Gear Solid has itself a director and star in Rob Cohen and Josh Lucas…
Cohen? Well I personally think he can pull something good out for MGS, I really liked xXx and I don’t care what everyone else says, it was a great action flick. However I’m not so sure if I can see Lucas taking the role. I would have had an older more grizzled veteran playing the role, but then I’ve seen stranger things work.
What about you fans of MGS? Can you see Cohen making this work, and if you don’t see Lucas for it who do you think can fit the role better?
