Sony has hired Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein to direct a live-action Metal Gear Solid film. The project has been in development for about two decades and will adapt the nearly 40-year-old stealth game franchise. Lipovsky and Stein are known for Final Destination: Bloodlines. This matters because it ends a long stall on translating Hideo Kojima's complex narrative to film and will shape Hollywood's approach to big-budget video game adaptations.
