Jordan Vogt-Roberts, the director of Kong: Skull Island is now working on an upcoming Metal Gear Solid film. While we don’t know much about this upcoming film, it’s evident that Vogt-Roberts is passionate about this franchise as a whole and that he’s an admirer of Hideo Kojima’s direction style.
In a new tweet, Jordan Vogt-Roberts shared his admiration for Kojima’s direction in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. He went on to compare the direction in the game to the camera control displayed by Derek Cianfrance in a baseball commercial. Of course, Kojima’s directing abilities aren’t very surprising given that he’s a huge fan of cinema and frequently draws from films for inspiration for his games. Additionally, Vogt-Roberts went on to share his love for Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and he stated that they are two of the most “brave and affecting entries” in the entire series.
When a fan stated that these games should be remade, Jordan stated that the original Metal Gear games i.e. Metal Gear (1987) and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake should ideally be remade first.
Overall, it’s clear that Jordan Vogt-Roberts knows the Metal Gear series very well and he may be the right person to make a film based on the games. You can check out the tweets below.
