Capcom’s Lost Planet could be headed to the big screen. Voice actor and screenwriter David Hayter hinted at the possibility of a Lost Planet movie at the recent AX08.

David Hayter (famous for voicing Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series and for writing the screenplay for X-Men) conducted a Q & A session at AX08, revealing two new projects that he is working on. The first was a new action/adventure film that he will probably be directing and the second was a screenplay for the film adaptation of Lost Planet.

According to a report by IGN, Hayter has been conducting preliminary talks to draft the movie tie-in since June. Hayter commented “It’s not entirely confirmed yet. But we are just closing the deal with Warner Bros. for me to adapt Lost Planet.”

Contractual agreements bar Hayter from revealing more about the project but he did say this about his approach to adapting games to film.

“There is gap in Hollywood between people who write good movies and those who appreciate good video games. I’m fortunate enough to be in both worlds. For myself, I try to make an effort to take the essence of the game, keep as much of that as possible, and still put it into a proper film structure.”

Here’s what he had to say about what he will consider before writing Lost Planet for the big screen. “When they gave me Lost Planet to play to see if I wanted to write the movie, I looked at the environments, I looked at the vital suits, the armor, the creatures, and watched the story. While I couldn’t take those scenes and put them up verbatim, I can appreciate the core of the story and what it is about the character’s journeys that grab people.”
