Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
This is crazy talk, pure and simple. I just got in from an afternoon outing, and I found this in my e-mail box:
I just got an exciting lead from a bearded man in glasses on the television. He said that Ryuhei Kitamura is going to be directing the adaptation of the Metal Gear Solid series of games. This is a hot scoop and I am proud to be delivering it to you guys before anyone else has heard about it.

I just met Ryuhei Kitamura last night, and Hideo Kojima was standing a foot away. I’m sure if something like this were even a possibility, I would have heard about it at the time. I mean, sure, Kitamura directed some of the cut scene video material for one of the MGS games, but that doesn’t mean anything. And, sure, Kitamura is moving to the US now that he's finished GODZILLA FINAL WARS and plans to start working on big studio pictures. And, yeah, I'll bet several studios would love to make a METAL GEAR SOLID film, especially one that allowed Kojima to stay onboard as a creative consultant. But again... that doesn't mean it's happening... does it?
My advice, Punch, is not to believe bearded men on your television. For now, let’s just call this one an interesting rumor.
"Moriarty" out.
