Samus Goes to Hollywood
It's official: Nintendo's Metroid will be a major motion picture!

January 22, 2003 - We all knew it was coming, but now it's official: Samus will star on the silver screen. Today, film industry trade publication Variety is reporting that Zide/Perry Entertainment has obtained the rights to produce the official Metroid movie.
Producers Warren Zide and Craig Perry are best known for their work bringing the American Pie and Final Destination flicks to audiences around the world. The duo is now teaming-up once again to bring the beloved Nintendo franchise into theaters everywhere. Samus now joins the ranks of Mario and Pikachu as Nintendo characters transformed into movie stars.

No release date has been set at this time as the project is still looking to bring writers and directors on board. Variety also mentions vague story details, which Metroid fans can probably already surmise: Metroids are discovered on SR388, and Samus, an intergalactic bounty hunter extraordinaire, is sent in to investigate. She soon encounters the evil Space Pirates and their plan to harness the power of these parasites and dominate the galaxy. Just imagining such a favorite plot unfolding in film form is enough to keep any Metroid fan happy until the movie is finally released.

This is one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while. Metroid isn't exactly a mass-market franchise like Resident Evil to begin with, plus to do it decently it'd need a big budget, AND the second Samus speaks it'll be ruined.

I certainly hope they do a better job with Samus than they did with Mario.

Don't count on it, Dino.

They need to cast a black woman with short hair for Samus.

And there's no way in hell this could be worse than The House of the Dead

Metroid 2 is nothing...get an SNES emulator, download Metroid 3 (Super Metroid) and play that...friggin' awesome. Prime is very good too, as is Fusion.
