News > Fun Rumors: Bale may be Solid Snake

Written by John Lichman

When looking at a rumor, it's always safe to say it may not be true. Especially when it can't be confirmed and runs off Internet heresay. 

That said, Nuts Magazine claims to have an interview with Christian Bale, where he mentions he is in the running to play Metal Gear star, Solid Snake. Of course, this also means there's a Metal Gear film somewhere down the line.

But the interview isn't online and Nuts is based in the UK. So, we can't confirm anything. Anyone out there read Nuts? Or is this just Internet speculation?

Konami had announced quite awhile back that there was going to be a Metal Gear Solid film. From what I remember they're still looking for a script. I believe the voice actor for Solid Snake in the game David Hayter had wrote his own script for the film but Sony pretty said "NO"...

I haven't read Nuts so I can't say anything about Christian Bale being up for the roll but I wouldn't be surprised if he was!

This is great if true. I've actually thought Bale would be a good Snake for a while. If you've seen him in Rescue Dawn or pretty much any of his movies you'll know this is a good choice.

This makes me remember that article on here called "Why Christian Bale is a complete Badass" or something. He is just great and would do this role justice.

Wow, I think I need to change my pants. That sounds too good to be true. Hopefully the strike won't fuck this up.
