Hideo Kojima, as far as video games are concerned, is no less than an auteur and legend in the field. Each of his video games is more of an experience filled with nuanced themes and lessons ranging from philosophy to warfare. His Metal Gear series, in particular, despite being based on conflicts and the role of technology in society gives an engaging narrative touching upon morality and political-social commentary.

There are few characters in pop culture cooler than Snake Plissken from John Carpenter's sci-fi classic "Escape From New York." Played by the also impossibly cool Kurt Russell, Plissken is a former U.S. Army Special Forces lieutenant who served in World War III before being wounded and becoming a criminal. In "Escape From New York," he's offered the chance at a pardon by the feds if he can carry out a dangerous rescue mission in Manhattan, which has been turned into a massive prison. Russell would reprise the role in 1996 in order to reteam with frequent collaborator Carpenter on "Escape from L.A.," which sees Snake playing basketball for his life and surfing the L.A. river. Then, around 2004, he had the chance to voice another character named Snake who looks an awful lot like Plissken, but he turned it down.

Fortnite Battle Royale’s Chapter 5 introduced Underground as its first season, bringing in a lot of new maps and gameplay changes, along with iconic skins like Peter Griffin and Solid Snake. Going forward, it looks like a bunch of characters from God of War and the Greek mythos will make their way into the popular game, and Kratos is going to be part of the narrative.
It’s been more than a thousand days since Kratos last appeared in the game’s item shop, but according to the leaks, players will soon get the chance to see him again in the next season. That’s not all; there’s another big franchise that might end up as a collaboration midway through the season.

Actor Kurt Russell recently acknowledged the rumor about the actor turning down the job of voicing Solid Snake in Hideo Kojima’s stealth video game series Metal Gear. The character in the video game was reportedly inspired by Russell’s character, Snake Plissken, in 1981’s Escape from New York. The first game in the series, Metal Gear, was released in 1987.
Kurt Russell in Escape From New York
The main reason why Russell turned down the role is because he wasn’t interested in making money off the character. Since he is a “movie guy,” he was interested in finding something new to work on rather than accepting an offer that “expands” the character. On top of that, Russell wasn’t ready to work without Escape from New York’s director John Carpenter.

Peacock’s Twisted Metal series will debut on the streaming service tomorrow, but Anthony Mackie already knows what video game franchise he’d like to tackle next — Metal Gear Solid.
Anthony Mackie spoke with The Wrap about Twisted Metal and was asked what video game he’s love to see turned into a movie or TV show next. “There’s so many video games that I would love to see turned into movies just so you can go on a journey with those characters,” Mackie said. “They already did ‘Max Payne,’ they did so many of them already. It’s just another wave of it now. But I would love to do ‘Metal Gear Solid.’ I feel like there’s so many characters that we learned of and we fell in love with through video games that would make cool IP to turn into television shows and movies.“

“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” promises to put Universal on the animation throne long occupied by Disney. It also shows that video games, not comic books, are where Hollywood should be sniffing around for new franchises.
With a comparatively modest $100 million budget, Universal and Illumination’s video game adaptation shattered box office records for animated movies, earning $204 million domestically and $376 million worldwide over the long Easter weekend. But the movie also set a record for box office derived from a character that audiences likely first encountered in an arcade or on a console.
“I think we are going to see a lot more video games being made into movies,” Gerber Kawasaki CEO Ross Gerber told TheWrap. “’Super Mario Bros.’ is huge and kids relate to gaming characters. I expect way more of this.”
There’s only so long that studios can get away with rebooting “Spider-Man” or spinning off of “Star Wars.

Despite American McGee‘s efforts to revive the Alice series with his proposed Alice: Asylum project, things have unfortunately come to an end. Not only has EA rejected McGee’s proposal, but it appears that McGee will also be exiting game development, entirely.

It's not officially January until Gerard Butler brings audiences another '90s throwback action B-movie. Don't be fooled by the generic title, "Plane" is a tense, action-packed thrill ride that feels like a movie ripped from the shelves of Blockbuster Video. In the age of gigantic CGI tentpoles, we don't get movies like this often enough. /Film's own Ryan Scott sums it up in his "Plane" review: "It's not tongue-in-cheek, it's just a movie being about what it's about, and that is fun when it needs to be fun. It's tense when it needs to be tense. And damned if it doesn't work in the end."
Butler plays disgraced captain Brodie Torrance, who's piloting a near-empty New Year's Eve flight. A convicted murderer, Louis Gaspare (Mike Colter), is brought onboard with his U.S. Marshal escort, and that's just the first sign this will be a very bumpy flight. When...
