Why doesn't Jerry Bruckheimer do it and add it to his rather long list of movies. I think his movies are quite good. That's just me though.

Pearl Harbor isn't good for him (he did do that, didn't he?), but the action was cool. He seems pretty reliable, as far as I'm concerned. Everything else I've seen is great. Murk and I were thinking of Bad Boys 2 in terms of action.

You know I wish Nintendo pulled a FF: Advent Children with Metroid instead.

Jerry Bruckheimer is a producer. He "pays" to have the "big explosions." It's Michael Bay, the director, who's largely responsible for how the Bad Boys movies and Pearl Harbor were executed on-screen (end results: meh). He did an absolutely awesome job on "The Rock," though.

I can agree with the Ridley Scott mention, based on his gritty work on Black Hawk Down and the Alien series. I happen to not like Gladiator.

There's no need to make this movie. There's simply no way to do any kind of respect to the games filmically. The game's charm comes from its silence, its loneliness, its mystery - and it has only one real character, with no dialogue (except for Fusion). A Metroid film would be either boring as hell, or would be completely different from the game that it's based on.

I know he's a producer, but I couldn't think of the other guy.
Pearl Harbor sucked in every way. Bad Boys was much better, though not exactly a suitable style for a Metroid movie.

I give full points to Guy Ritchie (not for this, of course. Just in general). He directed Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, both awesome movies (two of my favorites). British crime is hilarious, not to mention ultra-cool.

If they could keep the style of the Metroid Prime advert that originally appeared in cinemas, it would be great!

Well whatever Jerry is, they should get him on the metroid movie. I think he would do a very acceptable job on it. Mind you he probably wouldn't be the cheapest of people to use.

Even if someone hadn't even heard of metroid, don't you think that seeing previews of a movie like that would arouse some curiosity at least.
That would probably give the general populous a good reason to see it.

Sorry for bumping a ridiculously old thread, but a dude at this local video game joint told me yesterday there's a rumor on the interweb that Nintendo's planning on creating the movie in-house once MP3 is out of the spotlight.

TMW · « **Reply #35 on:** October 16, 2005, 06:29:08 PM »

I was going to say, "Doesn't Ninty have an in house movie studio now?"

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #36 on:** October 16, 2005, 06:40:59 PM »

They have an in-house ANIMATION studio...And I don't really see a Metroid animation taking precedence to other material...

nickmitch · « **Reply #37 on:** October 16, 2005, 07:30:37 PM »

A metroid movie is still a bad idea, even if Nintendo makes it in house.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #38 on:** October 17, 2005, 03:39:59 AM »

If a Metroid movie is a bad idea, then a Doom movie is...

A Metroid movie would be very hard to get right, but if they DID get it right it could revolutionise movies! No talking, no narration, only one character, yet still exciting! It would need to be VERY good though, but it's possible!

It would be good to get the Metroid franchise into the mainstream, which is currently isn't.

stevey · « **Reply #40 on:** October 17, 2005, 12:38:53 PM »

A metriod movie will suck even if reggie himself made it, any vg movie will suck if it dosen't than it was an rpg. there no way anyone can take metriod and get a good movie, there's no story.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #41 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:12:37 PM »

No story? someone wasn't reading the scans in Metroid Prime..

nickmitch · « **Reply #42 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:47:48 PM »

If the movie was based on the scans then Samus wouldn't be in it at all. . .But it would be AWESOME!

A movie about the chozo and their war against the X paracites and the creation of the metroids, who then wipe out the race.
*giggles*

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #43 on:** October 17, 2005, 04:08:44 PM »

I agree, a generally Metroid movie would be silly. A Metroid Prime movie...that could be pretty intense. She sees Ridley and follows his trail to Talon IV. It would focus a lot more on the exploration aspect - it could be a mystery, actually. She slowly discovers pieces of her past that are a mystery to her via the scans, and all the while fighting baddies, and ultimately taking revenge for the death of her parents, and the extinction of the Chozo.

If you ask me, that's a pretty good premise, with or without the Metroid license.

wandering · « **Reply #44 on:** October 17, 2005, 11:20:33 PM »

The problem with translating Metroid into a movie is that, like most videogames, Metroid is great by video game standards but fairly generic by movie standards.

Though, if done right, it could still make for a cool movie.....if John Woo isn't involved.

"A Metroid movie would be very hard to get right, but if they DID get it right it could revolutionise movies! No talking, no narration, only one character, yet still exciting! It would need to be VERY good though, but it's possible!"

I think 2001 came pretty close to that. ...and, you, know, 2001 is exactly what this thing needs to be like: moody, artisitic, visually stunning, little dialogue, etc.

Of course, what we're likely to get is a Paul WS Anderson-style cheezy, frantically paced, action movie. Oh well.

TMW · « **Reply #45 on:** October 18, 2005, 09:55:49 AM »

Nah...if it gets made, Samus will lose the suit and probably end up looking more like the girl from P.N. 03. Space Pirates will be humans that are just pirates, and Metroids will probably be turned into some robotic, manmade menace.

Also, Samus will have a romantic interest. Probably some goofy, nerdy guy to offset her "masculine" side and show her femininity.

Or Ridley.

nickmitch · « **Reply #46 on:** October 18, 2005, 02:27:45 PM »

I think that Samus could be feminine with out a male interest. all she'd have to do is giggle and say, "That was fun," after killing a swarm of metroids.

Nintendo perfectly expressed Samus' motherly instincts in Super Metroid, so we don't need any of this "That was fun" crap...

Oh gawd!

"Samus the Metroid Slayer". XD

Of course, I don't think I'd mind at all if Joss Whedon took a crack at Metroid.

Lets see what he does with Wonder Woman.
