I think its startin off on the right foot by having john woo involved. Hopefully they leave the franchise as is and dont alter anything. Ive read its supposed to take place during metriod 1's storyline. If the production value is high up there and its taking in the right direction, this could be a sick movie. What are your opinions on how the movie should be made and who you think should be casted as samus. EGM had the girl from T3 (which I think is perfect after seeing her pic again). On a side note though, what do yous think of a movie based on samus hunting down the predators from the predator movies. I think that'll be insanely hot lol.

john woo's movies have been pretty horrible as of lately, I am also worried that they will focus too much on Samus' feminism and sensuality that they will forget that she lives to kill space pirates etc.

Berny · « **Reply #2 on:** June 15, 2004, 07:44:24 AM »

Sensuality? "Oh....Mr. Metroid. SO HOT! OH!" Seriously who the hell would she be sensual with? There's like Space Pirates and Metroids and that's it. Well, I'm SURE Hollywood could find a way.

Mannypon · « **Reply #3 on:** June 15, 2004, 08:17:04 PM »

nah, I doubt they will take that road. Resident evil had a fewale main character and they didnt really dwell too into her feminism. I have high hopes for the movie as long as the production value is up there. I dont want to see some bootlegged rubber suit for her armor. Theres so much they can do with this franchise, they better not mess it up.

Well I can't say too much about this.... I mean saying "Metroid Movie" sounds good but I don't think it will be any good at all.... If it is not in 3d like Final Fantasy then I dont know how it would be any good... There would be too many costumes and all that bullshit... If they actually start this movie and show previews of what it will look like then I would be able to comment more about this movie but for now it doesnt look like they are doing much about this Metroid Movie..... Ohh well...

Unless you're Pixar, I don't think anyone else is going to flock to total CGI anytime soon.

one of the things John Woo will have to do is do something Nintendo hasn't done yet. Give Samus character. There's the double edged sword. Samus's character (or lack of it) isn't really defined in the games; we don't know if she's brash, the strong and silent type etc. Fusion made the attempt, but it came off as pretentious if you ask me.

But hey, it couldn't be worse than the Mario Bros, movie.

Chode2234 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 22, 2004, 10:28:26 AM »

She is the strong and silent type for sure, how could she be anything else?

you guys need to read the E-manga, it definaely has more than enough info to make a movie out of, its incredibly interesting, and still has ways that things could go.

Read those.

They're making a movie? Personally I think it will ruin Samus. How many game-based movies actually were good movies? I don't think they should especially if John Woo is in it. I hope that this is just a rumor and it turns out like the real action DragonBall movie--forgotton. Samus is a highly respected bounty hunter in the game-world, not Hollywood. Look at all the game-based movies out there. There's Mario Brothers, Mortal Combat(not exactly a horrible movie, but still), Street Fighter, Final Fantasy(if it was based off the game, doubt it), Resident Evil, and other movies based off of games. I really hope that if they do go through with this idea, then they'll at least make a good one for Samus.

Chode2234 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 23, 2004, 10:24:17 AM »

I have my doubts, but hey, franchises sellt tickets. Probably because everyone goes hoping to see the first good rendition of a video game to movie? Maybe Master Chief will have a cameo appearance and Frank Oz will do the voices of the Chozo...

Berny · « **Reply #10 on:** June 29, 2004, 09:21:08 AM »

First of all, I doubt Metroid has enough of a fanbase to sell on the name alone. Then again, I was very surprised that Spiderman sold as well as it did.

Mannypon · « **Reply #11 on:** July 04, 2004, 02:02:51 PM »

I think the only way to make the movie work is with a high production value. Without that, and with how high tech the metriod storyline is, I think it'll come out as a low budget late night sci fi flick. They better have the production value real high, have the people that did the hulk movie, those effects were sick lol.

FaceLeSs · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2004, 08:53:01 PM »

I really dont want them to make up alot of new stuff or start to invent many different ideas in the metroid universe. I dont want the movie to be so different from the metroid series we have grown to love. Id rather them keep everything in order

notic · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2004, 04:04:40 PM »

A good Metroid movie would be an IMAX movie fully animated in 3D. I'd like it to show Samus just exploring some alien world alone with very beautiful graphics to give more atmosphere. It wouldn't really need much dialogue, just Samus investigating an unknown planet by herself in search of something (I'm being generic here just to analyze a good Metroid movie) that maybe the space pirates may want, or something to do with the Chozo civilization. It would also show Samus having flashbacks as a kid or whatever and stuff about how the Chozo raised her. This is all I can come up with so far.

I think another potential game movie would be Metal Gear. I think Metal Gear Solid (the only MG game I played) is like a movie all by itself it would just need good actors and that's kinda it.

Dasmos · « **Reply #14 on:** July 07, 2004, 05:44:46 PM »

In my opinion they should do it half 3-d animation and half real like in spiderman. Have all the actors palying the playable parts and the rest 3-d. Like the space pirates. to tell tye truth i couldn't tell the real spiderman and the computer one apart!!

Mannypon · « **Reply #15 on:** July 08, 2004, 04:05:30 PM »

yeah, thats why it needs a high production value, to pull that level of detail with the graphics.

RABicle · « **Reply #16 on:** July 20, 2004, 07:00:26 AM »

There's an easy way for it to not cheapen the franchise, they make it an art hosue movie. Unfortunately John Woo is involved so that won't be happening.

You know I was thinking, John Woo won't have the slightest clue as to how to direct a movie featuring a character who can't hold a second gun. I bet if the movie even goes ahead (I'll gives odd 20:1 that it will never happen) there will be some shoddy scene involving Samus holding a handgun in her left hand shooting baddies. Or better yet, why not two arm cannon's Woo?

This movie won't be good though, I just can't imagine how anyone could turn Metroid into a movie, let alone idiot John Woo, that guy is a joke. If you don't know which one of the Mission Impossible movies he directed (MI2) just watch them both and the most painful one will be the one he did. This test is 100% accurate, you can try it on anyone.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2004, 09:46:04 PM »

Lucky I haven't seen MI2

This forum needs more RABicle!

Caillan · « **Reply #18 on:** July 22, 2004, 01:23:02 AM »

Uh, MI2 is a truly horrible movie. Of all the possible genres of movies I dislike, the ridiculous action ones I dislike the most. I hope Woo doesn't make this, though the franchise has been picked up before, and chances are that it will be picked up again if Woo drops it.

Franchise games seem to have been slowly imporving in recent times, with Spiderman and LotR actually being half-decent gamss. A massive improvement over only one (console) generation. I just hope that in the future game-to-movie conversions will become just as successful. To be fair, the Resident Evil movie was far, far better than it could have been...unfortuantley that still doesn't make it a good movie.

Games offer forms depth and excitement far removed from that which movies offer... is it so hard to draw upon those elements without transposing them to standard action cinema? With the exception of the FF movie (which was a dry and damaged husk) I've yet to see a game-to-movie that isn't action orientated.

Mannypon · « **Reply #19 on:** July 22, 2004, 11:31:06 PM »

wish the guy that did the hulk movie would pick up the metriod license. I think he'll treat the franchise right and not take it in a different direction.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #20 on:** July 23, 2004, 03:00:16 AM »

I'd rather have Sam Reimi on it...

Doerr · « **Reply #21 on:** July 23, 2004, 09:00:16 AM »

Ridley Scott could make a good Metroid Movie

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2004, 09:21:25 AM »

The Hulk was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen.

Not to mention I never liked the Hulk anyway.
