Capcom enlists Solid Snake to pen ‘Lost Planet’ script
Not Solid Snake the character, of course, but the man who lent his vocal chords to the notorious badass, David Hayter. Hayter has a sideline as a screenwriter, having recently authored the script for Zack Snyder’s Watchmen adaptation. I figure if he can tackle that, he can certainly dress-up Capcom’s thinly-plotted arctic space-adventure.
I suspect that Lost Planet will make a better movie than it did a game. In true Capcom fashion, Lost Planet punishes you merely for playing it, with it’s constant heat-loss and subsequent character death. Granted, it’s not all that hard to stay warm as long as you’re killing stuff - but shouldn’t killing stuff be a reward in and of itself? Dead Rising suffered from the same problem, forcing you to hit numerous timed rendevous, some of which are necessary to complete the game.
I hope the movie doesn’t require the audience to hit the snack bar every 20 minutes to keep watching.
