He's a screenwriter who has tons of credits in genre films including X-Men and this month's Watchmen movie. He's also the American voice for Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid games. He's David Hayter and now he's helping to launch a new entertainment company that will have games as part of its portfolio.

Variety reports that Hayter has teamed up with former Crystal Sky Productions exec Benedict Carver to create Dark Hero Studios. The story states that the new company "will generate film, TV, Internet and vidgame projects in the action, sci-fi and horror genres." Hayter is keeping very busy these days as he has written and will direct a werewolf-themed movie called Slaughter's Road that will begin production this summer.

Evil Avatar's latest radio broadcast had a chat with David Hayter who is best known in gaming circles for his voice work as Solid Snake in Konami's Metal Gear Solid series. However, Hayter is also a screenwriter who is best known for his work on the first two X-Men films.

Well, Hayter told the radio broadcast that he may be merging his two interests. He told Evil Avatar Radio that he is working with Warner Bros. on developing a script based on Capcom's sci-fi action game Lost Planet. It sounds like things are at an early stage and since this is Hollywood there's likely a good chance this movie won't ever be made. Still it's not that big of a shock since Capcom is already working on a Street Fighter film and has other game-to-movie projects in the works.
