Here’s a exciting/strange bit of news I’d take with a grain of salt (or perhaps… oil? Except oil doesn’t come in grains. Damn, that attempt at a clever pun totally backfired on me). Anyway, those of you who were wondering what Paul Thomas Anderson would do after his cinematic tour-de-force THERE WILL BE BLOOD, may have found your (inexplicable) answer. Apparently Aki Saito (guy at gaming company KONAMI), claims that Paul Thomas Anderson is interested in directing the feature film adaptation of the incredibly successful video game franchise, METAL GEAR SOLID. Like I said, who knows how legit this actually is, but it’s certainly an interesting proposition. It’s also a bit of a mind-blowing shift of gears from BLOOD, but I wouldn’t really complain because it might very well result in a video game film that didn’t completely suck.
