Michael Bayhem!

So we all know that there's a Metal Gear Solid movie coming out sooner or later. They have a producer for the movie, however, I don't believe that they have a director yet.

My chip is in for Michael Bay.

Why in God's name do you ask? I'll tell you why. Because he's already directed it before, when it was called, "The Rock."

What are the similarities?

Retired special ops? Check. (Sean Connery & Snake)
Scientist? Check. (Nicholas Cage & Otacon)
Weapons of mass destruction? Check. (Nuclear Weapons & Biological Weapons)
Sneaking mission? Check.
Infiltration by water? Check.
Uprising by former military? Check.
Heroes captured by enemy at one point? Check.
Setting on an island? Check. (Shadow Moses Island & Alcatraz Island)
Threatened to have the island bombed to hell if the mission is a failure? Check.

There's probably a few more similarities, but those are the ones that come off the top of my head. Anyway, I really enjoyed, "The Rock," even if the story wasn't deep or anything like that. It was a good watch.

My question to you is, who do you think would be a good director for the upcoming MGS movie? Hell, who would you cast in it?
