METAL GEAR SOLID CASTING

METAL GEAR is a tragic action drama. A lonely American covert ops specialist is sent to assassinate his own mentor turned-traitor, which is hard enough… but what will he do when he discovers that the target is also his father? An intense thrill ride in the vein of The Bourne Supremacy, this short film is intended for Major Film Festival distribution. Based on characters from the game/graphic novel series of the same name.
