Jordan Vogt-Roberts Completes Draft of ‘Metal Gear Solid’ Script, Meeting With Actor “Very Soon”
So, about that Metal Gear Solid movie. Apart from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts having a cameo in Kojima’s Death Stranding, that’s about as much MGS-related news as we’ve gotten. That is, until Vogt-Roberts dropped a little update on Twitter. Well, little might be a stretch. After a long series of tweets, Vogt-Roberts revealed that a new draft of the film’s script was just finalized and turned in recently.
BONUS IF YOU MADE IT TO THE END: I’m sorry can’t update you on the MGS film more regularly… but:
-We just turned in a new draft. It’s full Kojima-quirk and full Military surrealism. I won’t say more 🤫
-I’m hoping to meet a specific actor very soon 🙂

Vogt-Roberts went on to also say that he will be meeting with an actor for the film “very soon.” The last we heard about any actors involved in the film, Oscar Isaac had expressed his interest in the film. Whether he’s the one to don the sneaking suit remains to be seen. For now, there’s still no release date for the film.

Horror Mystery Visual Novel ‘Scarlet Hollow’ Receives Expansion of First Five Chapters
Black Tabby Games has dropped a little update on the progress for Scarlet Hollow, announcing that writing work on their planned expansion to the game’s first five episodes has finished, with the team pivoting to the art. Testing for the update is set to begin in “about a couple of weeks,” though if you’re a Patreon member, you can get early access to it.
The update adds around 70,000 words of new and remastered content, with most of it expanding some of the shorter sections. The update also tweaks certain aspects of gameplay, as well as adding more dialogue (obviously) between characters, and even revamps one of the endings to the fifth episode.
The team also confirmed that writing for Episode 6 is well underway, though no release date has been announced.
Currently in Early Access on Steam, Scarlet Hollow is an immersive horror-mystery with sharp writing, impactful choices, and meticulously hand-drawn art. What was supposed to be a quiet getaway in the rural mountains of North Carolina to meet your long-lost cousin and comfort her through her mother’s funeral, has turned into a nightmare of cryptids and other supernatural horrors. You only have to survive a week. But can you get to the bottom of these mysteries haunting Scarlet Hollow before they claim your life?
