Metal Gear Movie Won’t Have a Three-Act Structure

Metal Gear Movie Won’t Have a Three-Act Structure

Metal Gear Solid is a series rife with geopolitical turmoil. I’m curious to see how the game will translate to the medium that inspired it during times where politics and nuclear anxiety are components of a lot of conversations. Maybe now we can start imagining how this might all play out, thanks to director Jordan Vogt-Roberts sharing script details at the 2018 San Diego Comic Con.

Metal Gear as a series is, admittedly, a difficult one to predict, and Vogt-Roberts said that Kojima advised him to “Do what I would do. Betray your audience.” That said, he realizes that there are things fans love about the series. He said at the event, “My goal really is to try and translate what the fans want and expect, and to really take the unwieldy, amazing, decades-spanning timeline and have a way to make part of that make sense as a film.”

One thing that will be different, supposedly, is that they will be taking a break from the three-act movie structure that is usually present in films. The Metal Gear movie will also try to do new things with the series’ lore. But that’s all we really know at this point.
