Metal Gear movie confirmed

Sony has confimed that it's working with Konami on a live-action movie version of the Metal Gear series. Konami talked about this a while ago and then Hideo Kojima had to re-assure the whole universe that Uwe Boll would not be involved. The German director of awful game conversions may well still be too busy beating up paunchy American journalists.

Hollywood Reporter, via Reuters and Yahoo, provides a plot synopsis of the original Metal Gear Solid, suggesting to Gamasutra that this might provide the basis of the film. Of course, if the scriptwriters are feeling lazy they should go for MGS 2, which has so many cut-scenes it virtually writes itself.

No director or actors have been announced. So what do you reckon?
