...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.
"We have to assume the mainstream audience is unfamiliar with the property," Foxhoven said. "As for the rest of the film, we will stay true to the game and have Samus battling the Metroids and Mother Brain in a fight for control of the galaxy..."

okay, start naming the probably horrid casting choices they're going to make...

― Kingfish Balzac (Kingfish), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Maggie Gyllenhal as Samus.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Angelina Jolie.

"Franchise" is going on my Forbidden Words List

I hope they make Mother Brain all sassy like on the Captain N cartoon.

If they did it side-scrolling with 8bit CGI, I would die.

And if the soundtrack is all glitchy and spacey like in the game, it will rule.

(I'm still waiting for my CGI TMNT)

True. I'm just saying, if they kept the original music from the game, that would be nice.

― Prude (Prude), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

of course.

hell, i wish they'd use a green-hair'd japanese chick for Samus, too...

How much do we want this movie to resemble The Fifth Element?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 7 April 2004 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Not at all?

― dean! (deangulberry), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

DUUUUUUUDE.

Man, I was just playing Metroid Prime (greatest game ever, btw) today and thinking about what I would do with a Metroid movie. Now I'm sad. John Woo has made the baby Jesus cry.

OK, I'm just going to see every movie that isn't based on something else. I've had it. I'm just gonna see fucking Swimfan because I'm sick and tired of goddamn adaptations. Some of my favorite movies are book adaptations, theater adaptations...FUCK IT. FUCK IT ALL TO FUCKING HELL.

Is I Am Sam based on anything? If not, I guess I'm gonna see goddamn I Am Sam.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 23:51 (twenty-one years ago)

ok maybe I also won't see movies that fit obvious structures (courtroom drama, stalker, etc). I rarely see anything anyway and this seems like a totally awesome way to be pretentious.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

you should see one of those Ashley Judd movies where she hunts down the bad guy, with the help of a grim-faced Morgan Freeman

― Kingfish Balzac (Kingfish), Thursday, 8 April 2004 00:17 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha...alright yeah any movie that could be called one of those is oficially unwatchable for me now. FROM THIS DAY ON.

except for The Hulk. I wanna see that.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 8 April 2004 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Swimfan is a good movie!

― Gregory Henry (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 8 April 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

go see "the American Astronaut". that was pretty good.

― Kingfish Balzac (Kingfish), Thursday, 8 April 2004 00:24 (twenty-one years ago)

actually I am going to check out this American Astronaut movie, mainly because of the top user comment from imdb, cut and pasted here...

Maggie Gyllenhal as Samus.

That's a horrible casting choice? Sounds like my dream.
