To many a gamer, the name David Hayter rings a bell. Most of us would know him as the voice behind Solid Snake in the MGS series. But simply checking his IMDb profile will reveal that his resume's got more than that. He wrote the script for the first two X-Men movies and he's one of the contributing scriptwriters for the Watchmen movie.

So now that MGS4 is behind him, what's up for Hayter's future? In a video interview, he talks about what's up with the supposed Metal Gear movie - is it gonna happen or not? - and his not-so-direct-anymore involvement with it.

He cites that Hollywood politics eventually shot down his chance of penning the movie. However, it seems he just had some meeting about it with some movie people, and he's looking optimistic.

If you'll notice, he hesitates a lot by choosing specific words for his answer - a clear indication that he knows something and he's being careful not to spill anything. Later on in the interview, he also mentions that he's currently penning the script for the Lost Planet movie, as announced back in E3 2008.
