Oscar Isaac is attached to play Solid Snake in the long-awaited film adaptation of the “Metal Gear Solid” video game series at Sony Pictures.
Based on the games created by Hideo Kojima and published by Konami, the film is being helmed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (“Kong: Skull Island”) from a script by Derek Connolly.
First launching in 1998, the story follows Snake – a soldier who infiltrates a nuclear weapons facility to neutralize the terrorist threat from Foxhound, a renegade special forces unit.
Subsequent entries helped build up a complex mythology and turned Kojima into one of the most celebrated storytellers in the gaming world.
Avi Arad is producing. A production start date is unclear and Isaac schedule remains incredibly busy with commitments to HBO’s “Scenes From a Marriage,” Disney+ Marvel series “Moon Knight,” the film version of comic “Ex Machina” dubbed “The Great Machine,” and Barry Levinson’s “Francis and The Godfather”.
