Speaking with IGN during our Comic-Con live show, Metal Gear Solid movie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts shared details on the plot of the now complete script.
“We’re not exactly adapting something verbatim as ‘this game,’ but we’re also not just going to throw it out in a crazy Dark Tower way that it completely disregards why fans love the thing,” Vogt-Roberts said that Kojima even encouraged him to branch out, literally telling him “Do what I would do, betray your audience.”
You can watch the full interview below:
While Vogt-Roberts said that’s “a very Kojima-San thing to say,” he explained his own goals for adaptation, saying “My goal really is to try and translate what the fans want and expect, and to really take the unwieldy, amazing, decades-spanning timeline and have a way to make part of that make sense as a film.”
