Speaking to the alumni magazine for his college, director Jordan Vogt-Robets stated that he's in no rush to jump into Metal Gear Solid after spending two years in a Vietnamese jungle, filming Kong: Skull Island. Reflecting on his time filming SKull Island, Vogt recounted, "There was one day where we had to take a van, switch to a more off-road vehicle, get in a big boat, get in a smaller boat, go under a cave, and then get into another boat to get to where we were shooting. And John Goodman turned to me—he’s a legend, right—and he says, ‘That was the best ride to work I’ve ever taken in my life.’”
Continuing his refelction on Kong, Vogt stated, "This has been two-and-a-half years of my life, and in those years, you go through every possible human emotion. Because Kong is film history, Kong is a piece of pop culture. The celebration now is in the freedom that I can have living my life and recharging my creative tank, so I can go and pour myself into something again."
Presumably, that next passion project will be the Metal Gear Solid film for Sony. Vogt-Roberts and MGS creator Hideo Kojima have previously met to discuss the project but with Kojima's split from Konami, it remains to be seen how involved he'll be with the project.
