Christian Bale denies playing Snake

Well it seems that Bale has denied he is playing Snake in the Metal Gear Solid movie. But after his Keanu Reeves style performance as John Connor who would want him playing Snake? Bale has played some great roles, he's probably the second greatest Batman after Keaton, and it's debated if Adam West should be even in the list of movie Batman's. Which reminds me: I wonder if they'll ever make a live action Batman TV series after the 3rd film?

Anyway onto the topic at hand. Bale is a good actor, he's from the UK so that pretty much makes him great since most people who come from Ireland and England have to be good otherwise the acting schools here beat them with Nuns (yes they beat them over the fucking head with Nuns who are holding rulers so you get a double beating), so great British actors like Bale, Hopkins, (Zeta-Jones?), Connery, Craig are all up there, but they shouldn't be allowed to play hyper-real characters, because it just doesn't work. Bale has proved it with John Connor, Bale just plays a gruff moody guy with a personality of a brick. We know Bale is a good actor. He either just can't play these kinds of roles, or McG just can't direct characterisation for shit. I'd like to vote for the latter.

Make Metal Gear Solid into a CGI movie: have Hayter voice him: He's a great Voice Actor, and a decent enough screenwriter. Make the movie interesting enough and intelligent (like in the games) and make sure the CGI characters look good and we might have a great CGI film. Just don't do it live action, it's just wrong.

Although Bale has not been confronted on playing Solid Snake, he apparently plays the games. Good on ya....
