Jordan Vogt-Roberts talked a little bit today about the creation of the Metal Gear Solid movie, which he intends to direct, but he already has his eyes toward another video game franchise: Metroid.

In an interview with IGN, Voght-Roberts talked about wanting to do the sci-fi franchise justice and his ideas for what the movie could be.

I have a pitch for a Metroid movie," Voght-Roberts said. "Theyll never let me. Its too crazy. It legitimately would be [Samus] alone. It would be a little bit of her talking to herself. As soon as they introduce other talking characters in those games, to me it loses everything. You put her alone and its almost got more to do with the silence of a movie like Drive. Like the quietness. and having it be like a real, intense mood piece, but mixed with sci-fi.

Voght-Roberts talked a bit about how Super Metroid influenced him and his filmmaking style. It seems unlikely Nintendo would ever go for it, but considering that the studio that made Minions is making a Super Mario movie, stranger things have happened.

I'm not gonna count on this being the first good video game movie in history but I do have to admit, if a Metroid movie had to be made, this guy would probably be a decent director for it.

Glad to see they won't want to try any bs "diversity" on the lead character.

For some reason I was thinking about Peter Jackson. That would make a truly bizarre Metroid film.

I don't see any Super Metroid influence on either of his movies. A Metroid movie could be great, but this isn't the guy to direct it. He seems more like the guy for a Call of Duty Zombies movie.

The problem with video game movies is that they get people who don't really know much about the source material to work on it.
But this guy seems to know his shit. He's clearly a Metroid fan and he already have an idea going in. I'm interested.

This. Was pretty doubtful until I read that pitch.

I hope so, if only so we can get another superior Honest Trailer out of it.
