Metal Gear Solid is a game series that has long been rumored to be receiving a film adaptation, but producer Mike De Luca is here to squash the hopes of MGS fans.

De Luca recently told Collider.com that he doesn’t think that the film project will ever see the light of day and he blames it all on Konami the producers of the highly successful game series.

Del Luca said:

I don’t think it’s going to move forward because I got the sense that there may not be enough of a coordinated will at this point on the side of certain parties to see a movie get made.

…

The video game companies are very protective of their property and there are certain things a studio requires freedom-wise to market and distribute a movie effectively in a global marketplace and sometimes getting those two things to match up is really hard. And in the case of Metal Gear Solid, the agendas just….not because the parties weren’t amicable, it was just kind of impossible to get the agendas to match up.

Maybe Metal Gear Solid will hit the the big screen some day, but for now fans will just have to replay the games over and over again.
