Since Metroid is so heavily based on Alien, they should follow a similar path. The Alien movies were excellent, so why couldnt this one also be great?

Because no movie studio nowadays would make a movie like that. For one, its financially risky, and two...well I mean, look at what the Hollywood machine did to Doom, and House of the Dead, or Alone in the Dark.

Its like, they can't not change anything they get their hands on.

Only the first Alien movie had a Metroid vibe. The rest were much more action-oriented. There's no way a movie like Alien (or Metroid) could be made these days.

Alien 3 wasnt action oriented at all and it was superb, but its true that awesome movies like that wont be made in these days, its really sad how hollywood went downhill.

I think that an Alien movie could be made now a days of course it'd be a re-make.

carrie-anne-0moss?

What're you saying.... that Carrie Anne Moss, being a mediocre actor, would be the sort of person that would be cast as Samus in a crappy Hollywood Metroid movie? Or that Carrie Anne Moss, being a mediocre actor, would be the sort of person that would be cast as Ripley in a crappy Hollywood remake of Alien 3?

she just doesnt have to talk but on occasion

Yep, like the occasional observation to herself. Everybody talks to themselves whne they are thinking about something or doing something. A director with a good sense of the source material can turn out a real good product.

I still believe there are plenty of themes in Metroid that could translate well to the screen. Imagine the movie would be half way between what a Boba Fett movie would be like and what the first Indiana Jones film was, but staring Uma Thurman. Metroid is a sci fi fantasy; its not just sci fi. There are supernatural tones in Metroid.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #60 on:** October 27, 2005, 03:35:08 PM »

Uma I think is a little too old to start off playing Samus. I like to think of Sarah Michelle Gellar playing the role.

mantidor · « **Reply #61 on:** October 27, 2005, 05:42:07 PM »

O_o DIE!

j/k, but seriously, anyone but her

IGN movies did al ong time ago a rundown on possible actress who could play Samus, Uma Truman could be fine, but I have to say Charlize Theron is just perfect, too bad is Never Happening

EDIT: found it

vudu · « **Reply #62 on:** October 28, 2005, 09:31:58 AM »

I had a hard enough time swallowing Charlize as Aeon Flux. She just couldn't handle Samus.

mantidor · « **Reply #63 on:** October 28, 2005, 12:17:17 PM »

Trying to see Theron as Aeon Flux is hard because she doesnt fit that role at all

although shes a good actress and can put good acting hopefully, I was seriously exceptic but I watched some vids and I think she maybe can end up doing a decent job, the movie is doomed though, the casting was stupid, the guy doing Trevor Goodchild is ridiculous and is wishful thinking to expect the plot to be a bit interesting or at least a little close to the original animation.

The problem with Samus is that phisically she has been represented very differently, Theron can fit the new Samus face from echoes but zero mission is a bit different, fusion is also different, MP1 is completly different and super metroid had also a completly different representation of her. Theres no actress who can satisfy our expectations now that I think about it.

i need to write the script

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #65 on:** October 28, 2005, 05:18:30 PM »

There shouldn't be a script.
I think Theron would be good, and Thurman would be pretty good, but I don't think either of them fit Samus quite right.
I dunno. I'd say they pick an unknown actress if this movie didn't need to rely so heavily on who's playing Samus to get publicity.

ThePerm · « **Reply #66 on:** October 28, 2005, 05:21:47 PM »

erm there needs to be a script for every movie..and a good writer

King of Twitch · « **Reply #67 on:** October 28, 2005, 10:04:24 PM »

People will show up at the movie with their DS and type Pictoshat subtitles for it then Wi-Fi it to the projector.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #68 on:** October 29, 2005, 12:33:24 PM »

A movie only has a script if it has words. Metroid should have few, if any, words. Now, it might have a SCREENPLAY, detailing what happens in the movie. Is that what you meant? A screenplay?

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #69 on:** October 29, 2005, 02:43:01 PM »

A script is more that words, it is the movie. Without a script, there could be no movie.

nickmitch · « **Reply #70 on:** October 29, 2005, 02:50:39 PM »

Well, a motvie could just be somed up in a plot over overview, which could come in a nice pamphlet.
So, what the movie needs now is a screen play and a plot over view.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #71 on:** October 29, 2005, 04:10:55 PM »

The definition of a screenplay: The script for a movie, including descriptions of scenes and some camera directions.

Implying that a script does not necessarily include those things. Screenplay is the term you use when referring to film, generally. That or shooting script. Kinda nitpicky, but I wanted to know what the point of writing a Metroid script was, if he had any words in mind.
I know what I am talking about I am a film major yes okay.

ThePerm · « **Reply #72 on:** October 30, 2005, 11:36:06 AM »

samas would say about as m uch as boba fett in my script....the p eople talking about her would be scientists and other people.

From Merriam Webster's definition of 'script':

Quote
1 a : something written : TEXT b : an original or principal instrument or document c (1) : MANUSCRIPT 1 (2) : the written text of a stage play, screenplay, or broadcast; specifically : the one used in production or performance
