If you think that you've heard enough of Uwe Boll related LAWL stories, I feel you're not entirely correct until you read this. Dear old Dr. Uwe Boll seems to have actually believed that Konami would make an MGS movie and hire HIM to direct it. OMG! Would you believe that?
How did this happen? A nasty trick of a Boll-hater? Read on ...

Here’s a joke: Did you hear the one about Uwe Boll directing a movie version of the acclaimed video game series “Metal Gear Solid”? So did Uwe Boll – only he’s not laughing.
“This was an absurd story,” Boll told MTV News about how his name got attached and then removed from a cinematic adaptation. “Two French guys wrote a script, said they are from Konami hired to write the script, said ‘You wanna direct it?’ I read the script, I liked the script. I said, ‘Yes, I can do it.’”
A quick deal! Fortune and glory awaited Mr. Boll. Well, they would. Too bad those two French dudes were flat-out con-artists.
