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.

To be fair I think METAL GEAR & METAL GEAR: SOLID SNAKE (MSX versions) would be in line for a remake first. Those are such giant elements of the story that aren’t visualized like the others.

! @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN’s direction in PHANTOM PAIN is groundbreaking. The unbroken virtual camera shots remind me of the insane motion control rig Derek Cianfrance used in this: https://t.co/kHQjBwpQbf The camera moves through space & zooms in an imperceptible way to focus on story.

Just putting it out there that PORTABLE OPS and PEACE WALKER are two of the most brave and affecting entries in the MGS series and I don’t think they get the attention they deserve because they were on the PSP.
