Lost Planet The Movie By Solid Snake Is Just Shy Of Confirmed

6:40AM Michael McWhertor | The voice of Solid Snake says that the film adaptation of Capcom’s Lost Planet is this close — you can’t see, but my fingers are but a hair’s-breadth apart — to being confirmed, pending a deal with Warner Bros.

The man with the trademark voice says he tries “to make an effort to take the essence of the game, keep as much of that as possible, and still put it into a proper film structure”.
