¡¡LA ENTREVISTA EXCLUSIVA!!
-How did you make the special effects?We have a small team of 3d/compositing guys. Someone is starting with his professional carreer, someone already has one and someone does it just for fun. We use tons of different softwares...and some live explosions
-In which formats, quality (sound, bitrate, ¿HD?) and aspect ratio will be launched the movie? I will probably be a 720X400 Divx with a PCM 44khz audio. But it's not sure yet.
-When will be it launched?As soon as it's done
(this winter)
-Will be feelings and emotions as primary as in the videogame series?Of course! Even if MGSP is somehow different froma classic MGS episode.
-In which way will be the movie (fiel) or not with the videogame?The themes and the 'structure' are somehow similar to MGS. There's a big difference, I think, in the way we're handling the charachters and in the directing style, because of my personal influences (I love Mamoru Oshii and Michael Mann) and because of the contribution that the other leading figures of the team (Mattia for the lights/camerawork, Alessandro for the compositing and so on), wich of course add another creative element wich is very personal.
-Apart of Metal Gear Saga, ¿which other references had you use as inspiration?It may sound a bit odd, but for MGSP the second most important influence are probably The Lord of the Rings and Apocalypse Now, because of the journey-based structure. I also kept in mind Ghost in the Shell: Innocence and Avalon for the whole 'sci-fi/anime' element. And when it comes to combat scenes, my god is Michael Mann.
-Apart of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, ¿where else had you record the film?Just a little scene in Milan, the rest is all shot in Veneto and Friuli.
-Will you make a "making-of"?Definitely, we've got a lot of material and we have a lot to tell about our crazy project
-Have you had legal problems with Kojima Productions? Do you think you will have?We had no problems so far, and I reasonably don't think we'll have.
-Will be the soundtrack downloadable?That is yet to be decided, but it's very likely.
-How many characters appear in the movie and in the videogames? How many characters are completely new? Any name?There are only a couple of charachters from the videogame. The rest is all new folks. Snake's in this mission with two new member of Philanthropy, Elizabeth Laeken and Pierre Leclerc. They're his companions, the two guys you saw in the trailers. And, of course, there's a whole buch of opponents and neutral charachters.
-Will be references to specific moments of the videogames?You bet it
-Will be sequels if the movie is a success?This is the first movie of a planned trilogy, so we already have very precise plans for two more movies, in case we want to produce more stuff. Will we do that? I honestly don't know. I'ts hard to work without a budget, we spent two years doing this one, now we need to work or we'll never have a life, a home, a family
We'll see what happens.
-What has been the hardest thing to transmit from the videogames in relation with the sensations that transmit to the players?The loneliness of Snake during his mission. So hard that I decided to give him a squad of companions
You can't expect to create in a movie that 'it's all up to me' sensation that you experience in the game. They're different media. In a game it's all about putting the player at the center of the experience, in movies it's all about different charachters and the way they clash and evolve.
-If you could give a percentage to the scenes of the movie, ¿which percentage of drama and action it has? Would you describe it as an action movie?I guess it has a 75 percentage of 'drama' and a 25% of action. It grows up to '50%' if with 'action' you can also include 'tension'. Overall, I think it's an adventure movie.
-Apart of Metal Gears, there will be final bosses in the film?Top Secret, sorry
-Will you subtitle the movie (Spanish, French or others), or it will be fansubs work?It's all fansubs work. But they're really generous, and fast! It won't be long before a good pack of subs are up I think.
-There will be codec scenes in the movie, like in the videogames?Yup, just as an eye-blink to MGS fans. Nothing too invasive though, CODEC has little to do with 'cinema'.
-Will be Snake as sarcastic in the movie as in the videogames? Or will he have a dramatic background?Snake will be really rude and closed to other people. Very focused on the mission. But he's really evolving through the whole trilogy.
-Will he have any partner (for example, Otacon) to be with in stressfull situations?Otacon will make a little appereance. But it's maily the job of Pierre and Elizabeth. I hope you're gonna like what happens inside of this 'band of brothers'
