Overview
- Sony Pictures said Thursday that Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein will develop and direct a Metal Gear Solid feature for Columbia Pictures under a new first‑look pact.
- Avi Arad and Ari Arad will produce the adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s stealth‑action game series published by Konami.
- The duo’s Wonderlab deal gives Sony the first option to finance projects they develop and includes an animated Venom movie and the sci‑fi film The Earthling.
- The Metal Gear project is in early development with no writer, cast, release date, or confirmed involvement from Kojima.
