Me and a buddy of mine have been having this conversation since MGS1 came out :lol: and the only guy we could agree onto play Snakewas Hugh Jackman. But I'm pleased with Christian Bale though. I already can't wait for this movie. Keira Knightley for Raiden anyone???

With him on board it might be a half decent movie. Getting real actors into video game movies is what you need to do, not The Rock.

Batman and Solid? SS is molded after Snake Plisken, so they should have gotten Kurt Russell.

I like Sean Bean but he's just never able to shake that Yorkshire accent I think he would be a bad choice for this movie.

Nooooo it should be David Hayter!!! He really looks like Snake and has his voice, he's perfect for the role, but if they have to get a famous actor it should be Hugh Jackman.

Dont forget Tomb Raider and Resident Evil.

It's wierd aswell that a lot of games made from movies also don't seem to step up to the mark. You'd think that these 2 would go hand in hand

Snake without David Hayters voice is nothing to fans , for ppl that even dont know what is MGS it makes no difference who will play Snakes part.

As for Bale being as Snake its ok with me , as long its Hayters voice :)

Bale, Hayter or Jackman? It doesn't matter who they choose out of those 3 to play Snake as long as they don't get Quinton Flynn to play Raiden he looks more like a TV Gameshow host.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Quinton Flynn

They were out of money before that. Sony helped pay for that movie and bailed them out.

Theres only one person that can play Snake which is of course David Hayter, though I cant see him getting the role. Theyre most likely to get someone famous to play Snake,the best choice would be either Josh Holloway (#1) or Viggo Mortensen I think.

Found the answer to my own question at IMDB:

"This film follows a similar plot to the popular computer game and follows Solid Snake on an adventure to destroy Metal Gear Rex, a mobile tank capable of firing nuclear missiles from any terrain."

So it's MGS1 then?
