If Kojima sells the rights to anyone, it HAS to be James Cameron, period. After Cameron finishes up his version of Battle Angel featuring an all CG Gally and 3D effects (like Spy kids 3D only better), he should get started on Metal Gear.
He'd be perfect for it. Michael Beihn as Snake, Sean Bean as Liquid, Linda Hamilton as Meryl and so forth...
Mostly, it's the style of the movies and theme that fit so well with Cameron's anti-nuclear messages from The Abyss and Terminator.
I'd love to see Metal Gear the movie, but only if Cameron helms the project.

A Kurt Russel comeback would be great. He hasn't aged that badly either. He'd just need to regrow the mullet, and wear a bandana.
Ryuhei Kitamura or Kojima himself could probably come up with some great action sequences, but dialogue definately needs to be outsourced to a talented writer. I wouldn't mind a fully CG metal gear movie incidentally, as long as it was high quality. Knowing how these things usually go someone awful will get their hands on it.
Metal Gear is at least more story driven than most games chosen to make movies from. Mario? Street Fighter? Mortal Kombat? COME ON! Of course, it could go totally Resident Evil and they could steer far away from original story, set it somewhere totally different than in the games, include lots of dispensable characters, and an artificially intelligent malignant security computer thing, remove key protagonists like they did with the Umbrella conspiracy (with Metal Gear, maybe they could take out Big Boss or any semblance of a terrorist/regime based threat?) and of course -- they could have Snake kick some dogs.

The script he wrote for MGS games are good, because they are games. He need to completely rewrite them to fit to a movie. Should make it an anime, let the guy who directed Ghost In The Shell movies to direct it. Then no one will understand the movie, and it will be more confusing than the games.

I couldn't see anybody but Kurt Russell as Snake.

Well, I realize that Hamilton and Michael Biehn are bad choices now due to age, but when I first played MGS on PSX, they would've been a better fit.
I actually think I'd cast Sean Bean (Boromir from LOTR and many other films) as Snake to give him a chance to play a good guy for once and the actor who played Faramir in LOTR as Liquid.
Sounds corny to choose LOTR actors, but I've always pictured Sean Bean as Liquid. His accent and look is perfect.
Meryl would be a much tougher casting call, as would many other MGS characters. I do think this could be a dream project if handled correctly, but I don't trust hollywood enough.

Biehn was the inspiration for the US Metal Gear Snake cover box anyway! :lol

I caught the announcement too. There's nothing on the AICN site other than Moriarty's blog about appearing on the show:

The way he was going on though made it sound it was a done deal. I guess that's why Kojima is in the US right now since he attended the premiere and spoke with Kitamura about the film.
