Although the film adaptation of the hit video game franchise, Metal Gear Solid, is trapped in what looks like developmental hell, it seems that actress Amy Adams has been lined up to play Snake's redheaded, Desert Eagle-weilding love interest, Meryl Silverburgh, as this recent interview has revealed.

XTCGamer: Well, thanks for doing this interview, I know you?re a busy person. First question on every gamers mind is, have you ever played a video game?

Amy Adams: I have played a few video games, and I have watched my boyfriend play the first few hours of Final Fantasy 12, but honestly I can say that I don't follow games or know enough to consider myself a gamer.

XTCG: We have recently heard that you got asked to play Meryl in Metal Gear Solid. Will you do it?

AA: A lot has to happen for me to accept the role, first I have to relate and have a connection with the character. I have read half way through the script and Meryl developed into a real character that I felt for, she is someone who wants to be strong and will work for it no matter how hard it is. I mean the main character Snake at one point doubts her skills as a solider but she still wants to prove that she can handle herself in the battlefield. She never gives up. That?s the kind of role that I want, so if they call me in and ask me I will definitely say yes.

XTCG: Speaking of Snake, Can you tell us who they have asked to portray the series hero?

AA: From what I can tell you, they are still in early development for the movie. Some actors I know they have asked are Viggo Mortensen and Christian Bale, but that as far as I know and I can tell you, there really keeping secret about casting.

XTCG: Speaking of they, Can you tell us who is going to be director?

AA: Well, like I said there still in early development, but Kurt Wimmer is apparently asked to direct the movie, but nothing is official I mean they could change the director at any time, so nothing is definite right now.

XTCG: Last Question, if you do except the role of Meryl, Will you play the game to get a feel for the character?

AA: I?ll try I mean I am no good at games, but to get a better feel for my character and understand who she is, that?s where the script comes in. If the director wants me to then I will, but to play the game on my own I don?t think I will.

XTCG: Thanks Amy for the wonderful interview

AA: It?s been a pleasure.

She was also the main gal in Enchanted, which she was very cute in.

While I approach any Game-Film adaptation and its cast with fear for ruining the history of a great game, I think she could make quite a nice Meryl, and did I mention she's cute? :p

Who would people like to see as Snake? Christian Bale? he's in everything lately? or RDJ? tongue.gif

I dunno if I can see it working, we know he can puff off the harsh sounding voice that snake has, and I'm sure he could pull off the rough look too.

Yeah Bale could use the voice from Dark Knight :laugh:

Amy Adams would look great as Meryl, as for me as well she looks cute :p . I didn't even know she was in Night At The Museum 2 until Rappy told me, she looked so different :blink: .

Christian Bale could definitely pull it off with the Batman voice :p .

That could work somewhat, Kiefer Sutherland can play the young snake and his dad, Donald can play him when he is old, lol.

I don't know, he's already saving the President one too many times :p !

They should let David Hayter do it, okay he may not be a perfect match but with some makeup and a hairstyler it could be close - Then the voice would also be spot on.

( Talking young snake here ... )

They should let Hayter do Snake's voice no matter what actor will be playing him. I wouldn't be able to stand it if it's some non-Snake voice...
Oh I agree, Solid Snakes voice without David Hayter's voice is pointless. But dubbing his voice over another actors voice would just look and feel stupid :laugh:
The Germans have been doing it for years. I take if we kidnap a couple of those they can teach us.

Lol- nah, Hayter would be awesome, but he'd need to get more buff + he'd have THE voice... but I don't think he will do it sadly :( so my next favorites would be Sean Bean, because of his looks... rugged and all...

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
