Word is coming out of Japan where a Metal Gear Solid PR extravaganza is being held that Paul Thomas Anderson, director of the awesome There Will Be Blood, is slated to direct the theatrical version of Metal Gear Solid.

Venturing into pipe dream land, I’m not sure if I’d rather see Tarantino’s Grand Theft Auto (the Internet fantasy fave for Rockstar’s franchise at the moment) or this. Not sure why Saito would just throw PTA’s name out there if there wasn’t some truth to it.

The result is sweet.
