Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro reunite at game summit
LAS VEGAS (AP) — "Pacific Rim" filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and "Metal Gear Solid" video game creator Hideo Kojima had big plans for their top-secret interactive collaboration.
The writer-director of such films as "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Crimson Peak" reunited with Kojima for a talk at the 15th annual gathering of elite members of the video game industry.
The appearance marked the pair's first public appearance together since their video game, "Silent Hills," was canceled last year by publisher Konami.
The title was intended to be the next installment in the long-running "Silent Hill" horror franchise and feature "The Walking Dead" actor Norman Reedus.
Kojima, who was affiliated with Konami since 1986, is being inducted this year into the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame.
