John Woo options Metroid movie

Well hurry up already, Mr. "Woo".

I Can't wait to see how well this "GAME to MOVIE" conversion will be when it releases...I AM A HUGE FAN OF METROID GAMES...the metroid games have lots of science-fiction elements which includes strange outer worlds atmosphere, great soundtracks and suspense to make a great film...

imagine this was real lol

it better be a fine as girl with big tetas and the look of samus for real but it'll be nice if their was a movie probably in the next couple years .......... hopefully

Hate to burst peoples bubble, but this news is already 2 years old. No news of it has come out in those 2 years, so I doubt it's still on.

Kiera Knightly IS Samus, she's got the look in my opinion. Uma is kind of ugly.

Hello? He's not making it anymore.

Who's gonna be Samus?? Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Hilary Duf, Cameron Diaz, WHO?????!!!!

It should be good UMA Thurman needs to be Samus

I hope it turns out good... I don't want to see a movie like Resident Evil. (Oh yes, I like the series, just not the movies)

I just hope this movie doesn't turn out like the Super Mario Brothers movie back in the 90s LOL (^^)

I heard he recentley gave up the rights, meaning currentley there are no plans for a metroid movie

if thay do make a Metroid Prime movie thay better make it good Crazy_Sam i'am with you almost every superhero or game that comes to the silver screen is crap

Why?! Why would you desecrate a solemn character like Samus? What would you have her say? "Time to rid of some 'roids" Enough already!

Tarantino did Kill Bill. Woo is big on HK gangster flicks. They're all superb, and he's a wonderful director.

Whoo boy, another comment, this time about the spelling thing, see, I don' t like it when people spell, because like "Cuz" and stuff, it's not "Dat" it's "that"! Alrite, Pplz!?

Anyway, I'm with Crazy_Sam as far as all that goes!

Well, to add to my last comment, if Woo was the guy who did Kill Bill, the acting in that really stunk, i hope this movie isn't like that...see, that's what i was wondering about,the acting and directing.

Dude, I bet you this is going to be one of those movies where only, like, nine people go to see it or something, but I might be one of those nine...don't get me wrong ,I like Metroid, or I wouldn't be on this page! It might or might not be good. And yes, I DO like to spell correctly.

Woo optioned the movie, which means next to nothing beyond that his company has the right to make it if it wants to. There's no sign of any actual production as far as I can tell. Now I'm replying to myself. Time to take a break.

Is there any more news on this? IMdB has an entry for 'Metroid (2006)' but there's nothing in it

Ah sure hope it will be a good movie. We all know what happens when a superhero or a game comes to the silver screen... (thinking of Fantastic 4 and DOOM, here)

Same here I only heard about it from the rumors page. When this game was on the SNES I thought then it should be a movie, took them long enough.

Wow I surprise this wasn't bigger news. Only heard about this from the rumors of the Legend of Zelda movie.
