This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first time the names Solid Snake, Big Boss, and Outer Heaven were first heard. Fast forward to today, The Metal Gear Solid franchise is one of the most popular and revered video game franchises in history. Yesterday Konami held an event to celebrate the silver anniversary of the series. At the show Avi Arad, producer of such Marvel movies as Iron Man and the Amazing Spider-Man, along with the games creator Hideo Kojima announced that a Metal Gear Solid movie is in develpment at Columbia Pictures. There wasn’t much else said about the movie, but the announcement to me is exciting enough.
