Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director for "Kong: Skull Island," doesn't care much if the feature film adaptation of "Metal Gear Solid" would be rated PG-13 or R. For him, the most important thing is the movie stays true to the video game.
Speaking to Collider about the movie, Vogt-Roberts said right now they are focusing on movie story that would make sense. He wants a "version of the movie that is most true to what it needs to be," which is basically the tone and characters.
He said that the video game has "hyper-violent parts," which allows it to be rated either PG-13 or R. But hyper-violent parts are not the"core element" of the game, compared to the characters' tone, voice, and philosophies.
He adds it's more important for them to nail the part of the characters as they are "these walking philosophies. Braxter Timberlake of Screen Rant said "Metal Gear Solid" video game follows the adventures of super soldier Solid Snake.
The game was released in the late 90s and the first game tasked the players to infiltrate a top-secret installation, with Solid Snake as their character, to prevent a nuclear war. They have to finish this mission while going against other super soldiers as well and some giant mech robots.
Timberlake adds that Vogt-Roberts practical approach to focusing on the game's tone and character while staying within the given budget, would "resonate more with the audiences." The production team is also taking its time in trying to come up with a good and correct movie adaptation of the video game, which could result in a great movie.
He said a lot of fans have been eagerly waiting for a great movie adaptation of a video game to come out in the theaters and hopefully it will be "Metal Gear Solid." Check out the top 10 moments of "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain," the latest game in the franchise.
