At E3 2006, Kojima announced that he had negotiated a contract with a party in Hollywood to adapt the video game into a film. He also stated that he was considering filming the film in Alaska due to the game being set in the state. In June 2008, in an interview with men's magazine Nuts, actor Christian Bale said that he was interested in playing Solid Snake in the film. However, in a June 2009 interview with MTV, he denied talking about a film version of the game and gave a vague answer on whether he has played Metal Gear Solid or any other game in the Metal Gear series.
