Day 8 

Metal Gear Solid Movie Announced

Metal Gear Solid will be getting a film, it has been revealed.

Announced at the 25th Metal Gear anniversary celebration, the film will be released by Columbia/Sony Pictures. Avi Arad will also be reportedly producing the film, who some of you may remember as the producer of Spider-man, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk.

No further details have been released as of yet, although apparently the film will be very close to the games.

Need For Speed Film In The Works

Move over The Fast and the Furious...there's a contender on it's way. Dreamworks Studios have acquired the film rights for EA's racing franchise, Need for Speed. 


Director Scott Waugh is rumoured to be in talks about the film, whilst George and John Gatins are penning the script. According to the press release, the film will be "rooted in tradition of the great car culture films of the 70s while being extremely faithful to the spirit of the video game franchise."


The film starts shooting early next year, and is due for a release sometime in 2014. Now we all know how video game to film adaptations can be pretty rubbish (I'm looking at YOU Resident Evil, House of the Dead, and so on...) but could this break the mould? Only time will tell I guess.

Ace Attorney Film Trailer Released

Another video game to film adaptation is on it's way. This time around, it's Nintendo's popular hand-held courtroom-based Ace Attorney series. 


The film is based on the first game in the series- Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and places the cartoon game characters into a feature length, live-action format. Whilst there is no translation provided on the trailer, it's clear to see that the characters crazy hairdos are present. Phoenix Wright's nemesis Miles Edgeworth wins the best hair award here.


The film will be released in Japan on the 11th February. There has been no word on whether this will gain a western translation though as of yet.
