Solid Snake in online game Metal Gear Solid is essentially impressed by Kurt Russell’s iconic character Snake Plissken
Kurt Russell seemingly took a dig at Metal Gear Solid franchise for borrowing from his character to create Solid Snake.
The 72-year-old actor revealed that he didn’t voice Solid Snake in Hideo Kojimo’s online game, shutting down rumours in regards to the function provide.
The Thing actor solely advised GQ that he’s “a movie guy,” including that he prefers signing on new roles as a substitute of filling within the current ones.
“I wasn’t interested in expanding, financially, off of something that we had created, or that I had created in terms of character.”
“I get business people, sure. ‘We could do this with that, or we could do this with that.’ I look at it and go, ‘That’s not written by John [Carpenter],” he noted.
“That doesn’t smell right.’ John’s not here to do this with. I’m not going to do that. Let’s go do something new. Let’s go do something fresh. Let’s go create another iconic character rather than saying, ‘What can we bleed off of this iconic character?’” the actor stated.
Speculations went rife about Russell voicing the character within the action-adventure stealth online game because of Solid Snake’s similarities along with his character Bob ‘Snake’ Plissken in movie Escape from New York.
He went on to speak about his pursuits and preferences, noting: “There have been many different times when people wanted to do something. I don’t know. I’m a movie guy.”
The actor continued, “You’ve got to understand that, from my point of view, whether it’s Elvis, or Snake Plissken, or Jack Burton, or R.J. MacReady, that was that project. That was that thing. You get into that mindset. You create that. You want to make that world happen.”
MGS determined to go for David Hayter to play the exceptional function of Snake. However, little may be assumed as to what the present would have regarded like if Russell had performed the function.
There have been uncanny similarities between Big Boss and his son Solid Snake, as each characters have been impressed by Russell’s character within the 1981 movie.
