Metal Gear Solid: The Movie (D: Vogt-Roberts) S: Oscar Isaac
Just the other day I was thinking about who I would in a Metal Gear Solid movie so I thought I'd see what you guys would do.
So this would be my cast:
Snake: Hugh Jackman
Raiden: Tom Cruise (Maybe dye his hair??)
Stillman: Morgan Freeman
Snakes partner the computer whiz: Steve Busemi
Rose: Sandra Bullock
The Chief or whatever he is: Gene Hackman/Tommy Lee Jones
Directed by: Micheal Bay
So what do you guys think and who would you cast?

Since Snake was modeled after the Snake Plissken then obviously Kurt Russell!!! Raiden I'd go with Ben Affleck. Computer wiz...hmm..Jason Lee. Katie Holmes could be Rose. The Colonel..Gene Hackman would be good. The boss guy at the end...Christopher Lee! Olga I think her name was could be played by..ehh..someone fugly. And Fortune could be played Vivica A Fox. Directed by the Wachowski Brothers Produced by Joel Silver.

before I opened the thread I was thinking Hugh Jackman, although he is a tad bit short.

I thought that the plot of MGS 2 was horrible compared to the first one so I hope that they never adapt Sons of Liberty.
I don't even want Raiden in MGS 3. Metal Gear is about Solid Snake, not some other guy.

what about Matthew Mcconaughey as Snake? Ever since I saw Reign of Fire, I was terribly impressed.
and have Rob Bowman direct again and Adrian Biddle do the cinematog.

Simpson Purist:
As for Liquid, Orlando Bloom really doesn't look too much like Hugh Jackman so he would be better suited to play a non-whiney Raiden. Also, isn't Orlando Bloom a little too young to be Liquid? Seriously, I liked Raiden but wanted to shoot Rosemary. No wonder the guy was always complaining!
Rolf Moeller can't be Vulcan Raven as Vulcan Raven was black (at least he looked black). That is, of course, if you want to stick to minute details (as most hardcore fanboys would). Otherwise, he's a fine choice.
The Wachowski Bros. are Hideo Kojima's personal choice if ever there were to be a Metal Gear movie but I'd prefer Tony Scott (the way he directed Spy Game would suit the whole intruige and thinking man's actioner elements that can often be found throughout the Metal Gear games -- minus the action heavy boss fights *l*) or Ridley Scott (the way he directed Black Hawk Down would be perfect for the "Mercenary War" of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake) would be good choices. Maybe they should collaborate.
My original directing choice was John Frankenheimer but sadly...
Anyhoo, your other casting choices are great. I never thought of Same Elliot as Shalashaska. Do you really think he can pull of the accent, though? And since this is a movie and would take liberties with the story,
Spoiler:
Isn't Hugh Jackman 6'4", Deftones17? I think he's tall enough.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Columbia Pictures is in negotiations to acquire the rights to adapt the best-selling video game "Metal Gear Solid."
The studio plans to turn the PlayStation game series from Konami Digital Entertainment into a character-driven futuristic spy thriller.
The game centers on Solid Snake, a Special Forces operative called out of retirement for one last mission. With terrorists threatening a nuclear facility in Alaska, Snake must penetrate their defenses and neutralize the threat.
With sales of more than $1 billion and 20 million units, the "Metal" franchise is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed video game series in the marketplace. Since its debut in 1998, the franchise also has spawned ancillary markets, with 3 million strategy guides, 1.5 million action figures and 200,000 comic books sold.

Kiefer Sutherland wouldn't be Bad-Ass as Snake.
He's Jack, and will always be Jack, you can't change that. That said, when I saw Season 1 of 24, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was Metal Gear Solid the TV Series in some parts.

To me the game plays out like a movie with all the story and dialogue in it. I would see a movie if it was well made but if It turned out bad it would leave a huge sour taste in my mouth.
