* John Woo has optioned Nintendo's video game franchise METROID. He will produce the sci-fi movie and has the option to direct. The movie will center on the origins of the game's female protagonist, sexy bounty hunter Samus Aran, and relate her adventures battling the insidious life-sucking Metroids and their controlling force, Mother Brain. I can't even imagine how this is going to look. Maybe it should be all CGI, ala Final Fantasy. John Woo is such a hack lately. I hope this comes out right! I want Richard Simmons to be Samus Aran, jk! Maybe Amy Smart. Yeah, I'm thinking CGI.
I've never played Metroid but I always thought Samus was a man when I played her on Smash Brothers.
Agreed. Samus is BOSS. I can't wait to know her story.
This looks cool, Metroid Prime is awesome, I would say CGI is the way to go. Seems kind of boring though, I mean she was always alone.
True indeed.
