Sony will handle the elusive Metal Gear film. The news comes straight from the mouth of Sony Pictures Entertainment vice chairman, Yair Landau.

Speaking after his D.I.C.E. keynote in Las Vegas, Landau said:



How indeed? Not with the help of movie killer Uwe Boll as was rumoured last year.

That may not be all. According to Landau: "There are other games we are looking to develop. We're working with one of my favorite producers right now on an idea for an EverQuest movie." The name of said producer? No chance. "I'll let him disclose that," Landau said.

The fact that a Metal Gear move is happening has been known since series creator Hideo Kojima confirmed it at E3 last year. Details still remain extremely sparse, however.

Since the movie of Dead or Alive that followed the series' fourth installment made us wince so much, and Jason Statham still hasn't been recruited for the Hitman movie, SPOnG has very high hopes for this.
