Arad Produces "Metal Gear" Movie

Avi Arad will produce the planned film adaptation of Konami Digital Entertainment's "Metal Gear Solid" video game franchise reports Game Informer.


The first in the series of stealth-based games, which began back in 1998, the story follows an attempt to take back a secret military base from genetically enhanced soldiers who have hostages in tow and a dangerous next-generation nuclear weapon.

Sony Pictures has been developing the film adaptation since at least 2006, but the attachment of Arad gives the project new life.

"For many years I fought to bring comics to theaters - and video games are the comics of today. We will take our time and tell the story with all the nuances, ideology, cautionary tales needed" Arad said at yesterday's Metal Gear 25th Anniversary event.
