Now, who to play Samus?  I say someone like Kelly Hu, but that's just me :)

I think CG movie would be better ala Final Fantasy movie

But with John Woo producing and possibly directing?  CG is unlikely.

and after watching his later works, a good movie is also unlikely.

are you serious?  I loved Face Off, MI:2 and the Hostage (BMW movie).  I never saw Paycheck, was it that bad?

Paycheck was pretty good--if you never read the original story.
That said, I can't imagine this movie being at all well done. I can't think of a single video-game-to-movie transition that's resulted in anything other than a bad, overly long music video, or absolute cheese.

what about mario brothers?

remember nintendo probably get's to 'pull rank' on him at will

Post by: J3Vr6 on April 07, 2004, 01:26:03 pm

Knowing nintendo, it's gonna be rated G or PG and be some sort of kids movie.

Hey, don't knock all video game movies.  I really liked Wing Commander... then again, I think I was the only one.

Title: I would sooo go see the Metroid movie!
Post by: mikhael on April 07, 2004, 01:48:33 pm

I liked that movie by Chris Roberts--but someone screwed up and called it 'Wing Commander'. Kind of odd that.

I've done my best over the years to block out all memory of the Mario Brother's movie. Thank's Bob, for re-exposing me to some of my worst childhood trauma.

Chris Roberts totally F-ed up the wing commander movie

I'm sure he spent more on kilrathi costumes for the first disk of WC3 than he did in all of the WC Movie

He also tried combining the plot of several of the games, added that stupid "pilgrims" subplot, etc

Title: I would sooo go see the Metroid movie!
Post by: mikhael on April 07, 2004, 02:06:36 pm

Subplot? The Pilgrims set up the entire plot. That's why I think he was making another movie and decided to put the WC name on it for recognition. ;)

Title: I would sooo go see the Metroid movie!
Post by: Kazan on April 07, 2004, 08:22:13 pm

the Kilrathi to are patently Wing Commander, so is Admiral Tolwyn, the names of the ships (all though their design is wrong, and the Bengal Strike Carrier Tiger's Claw was destroyed well before the keel of the Confederation Dreadnaught Concordia was laid, or even it's main weapon the Phase Transit Cannon designed)

the character names are patently wing commander to - (later) Commodore Christopher Blair aka "The Heart of the Tiger", etc

Title: I would sooo go see the Metroid movie!
Post by: mikhael on April 07, 2004, 09:50:36 pm

Absolutely, Kaz. He slapped some names on it, for sure. ;)

However, you can't tell me the the furless rubber skinned aliens were ever Kzi--er, Kilrathi. ;)

Man, he just made a generic space combat movie and put Wing Commander names on it. Ta da! Instant "Wing Commander" movie.

Yeah, Metroid movie... mixed feelings about that. I'd love to see it but I can imagine it far better as an adult's movie rather than for the standard Gameboy-toting kids.

Post by: Ulala on April 08, 2004, 12:15:26 am

Could be really good... or really bad.... oh well, 2006 (which probably actually means end of 2007), so we've got some time to get psyched up.. ;)

Funny, I heard the movie was canned.  <<;

Greatest game ever invented + Movie about greatest game ever invented = Best movie ever invented, jk.  I'm gonna go see it because Super Metroid for SNES and Metroid Prime for Gamecube are my absolute favorite games ever, and none other even compare the hours of my life looking for those like 3 final missile packs.

EDIT:  For samus we need to have a really hot blonde chick, because she is a blonde after all.

I thought she was a red head...

no blond

mikhael: you could say that -- he spent 27 million on the movie, they spend 100 million producing WC3

Go beat Metroid Prime with 70 % of the stuff I think, and you'll see what color hair she has, she takes off her helmet.

The person to play her would have to be like the (real) mom in T2 (whats her name?).  She would have to be very strong, yet really sexxy.

But WTF would they talk about?  I dont really see how it could be about one of the video games very well.

Post by: Ulala on April 10, 2004, 09:09:50 pm

It'd be kinda cool if they made it like a creepy action instead of just hardcore action. Samus is comin through a corridor and a metroid breaks through the wall and the audience jumps.. hmm... okay maybe not.. :shaking:

Ulala: the metroids break through quaranteen glass a few times in prime

Post by: mikhael on April 10, 2004, 10:02:16 pm

Prime's really creepy at times. You see the metroids sitting there in the glass tubes and you just KNOW they're going to bust loose--but they don't.

Later on you're feeling pretty confident, and THAT'S when the bust out. :)

Metroid Primes is... absolutely loverly. :)

Prime 2 is comming out soon...  Cant wait!

Post by: adwight on April 11, 2004, 12:02:55 am

Prime honestly scared the crap out of me in the area where you first get the phazon suit.  It's so damn dark, and the metroids keep scaring the ****e out of you jumping from shroom to shroom.  Ah, I just love that game.

Post by: Xelion on April 11, 2004, 10:10:11 pm

Movie = Good :D
Director = Not Good :(

This is definitely not a kids film. Why? Because Samus will have to come out of her suit sometime during the film and when she does she'll be nude ;7

Heck yeah dude, I love stuff like that. Freaked me out.. mm, it'd be cool to see in a movie, but like with the huge metroid from Metroid 3 (Super).. whoa man, I'm freakin myself out. :nervous:
