Jordan Vogt - Roberts has revealed more about his plan version of beloved TV secret plan franchiseMetal Gear Solid .

The director has previously talked about his brook love life for the serial , and want to make the“craziest , punk rock”movie version he peradventure can . The succeeder ofKonghas no doubt afford him a little more clout with Sony Pictures too , proving he can deliver a hit megahit that is n’t afraid to get a little goofy ; after all , that ’s a movie where Tom Hiddleston sliced up mutant birds with a samurai sword in wearisome motion .

In a new consultation withEurogamerto promote his live - activeness trailer forDestiny 2 , Vogt - Roberts talks Gearplans , support it wo n’t be a straightforward adaptation of any finicky story from the game .

" I ca n’t go into it too much . It ’s not a verbatim adaptation of any particular secret plan . It ’d sound too much like a innovative statement to call it a remix , because that ’s not what it is , but it ’s trying to meld a couple of dissimilar storylines together , and it ’s all tied together with a twist I ca n’t really talk about right now but that I ’m really excited about .

That say , give Vogt - Roberts obvious passion for the material – and the amount of giddy play he brought toKong : Skull Island – there ’s every chance hisMetal Gear Solidmovie could finally break the stamp .
