The long-in-development Metal Gear Solid movie that was set to be directed by Metal Gear super-fan Jordan Vogt-Roberts will now be directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein.
They directed 2025’s Final Destination: Bloodlines and have now been tapped by Sony Pictures to direct the upcoming video game adaptation as part of a new first-look deal at Sony Pictures.
“Metal Gear Solid was nothing short of a groundbreaking cinematic masterpiece that forever revolutionized video games. We are thrilled and honored to bring Hideo Kojima’s iconic characters and unforgettable world to life,” the pair said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
It’s exciting to see new directors stepping in for the Metal Gear Solid movie! This project has been highly anticipated for a while, and I hope the fresh vision brings something special to the screen. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
I agree, it’s great to see fresh talent involved! With the right vision, they might bring some unique perspectives to the story. It’ll be interesting to see how they balance the game’s intricate narrative and character development on screen.
