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.
