Sony Pictures is developing a tentpole film around “Metal Gear Solid,” the nearly 40-year-old video game franchise that’s never been adapted for the screen.

“Final Destination: Bloodlines” directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein are tackling the project for studio label Columbia, part of a first-look production deal the directors just signed. Lipovsky and Stein are hot off the runaway success of the latest “Final Destination” film, which reinvigorated the long-running horror series and earned over $315 million worldwide for New Line Cinema.
