Video game movies have a reputation for being not great - from the likes of World of Warcraft to Assassin's Creed, we've seen Hollywood adaptations of some of the biggest franchises fall flat on the big screen. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/gaming/741484/Metroid-Movie-Captain-Marvel-s-Brie-Larson-wants-to-be-Samus-in-new-Nintendo-film/amp At least as Samus Aran, we wont be exposed to her feet. --- ...

There's more room and freedom to work with, you just need to hire actually good writers who have even a vague idea of what Metroid is, which will be the difficult part. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter?

Who cares what Brie Larson wants? Yeah, no. Among other things, Room is the biggest thing in her career right now. With that said, Samus have no personality anyway, so looks wise this would be right up her alley. --- https://imgur.com/pmc9XsI https://imgur.com/LkrRVe2 https://imgur.com/Dp03g3y Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick! ...

When I picture Samus, I picture a towering beauty with an amazing body that can kick your ass several times over. Brie is neither of those. At most she's cute.

There's more room and freedom to work with, you just need to hire actually good writers who have even a vague idea of what Metroid is, which will be the difficult part. That's why the stipulation that they need good writers/directors is there. Bloodrayne was literally Uwe Boll, and he's fucking atrocious. Silent Hill honestly wasn't that bad a movie IMO, and while yes, the Silent Hill games have a more in-depth plot, the film was more an homage to the overall tone, style, and general themes of the games than any one specific SH story. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter?

A Metroid movie could work, if they had the balls to do something other than a generic explodey blockbuster and tap into the isolated in a weird alien world being hunted by everything else here atmosphere.

Wasn't there some director not too long ago who expressed wanting to do a Metroid film? He sounded like he was very familiar with the games and went into details about how he would do it, and iirc, CE was really digging his idea.
I can't remember who it was but I was down with that pitch. Edit: It was the Kong: Skull Island guy. I have a pitch for a Metroid movie. They'll never let me do it. It's 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 it's almost got a little bit 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. --- https://imgur.com/pmc9XsI https://imgur.com/LkrRVe2 https://imgur.com/Dp03g3y Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick! ...

what if the movie is a metroidvania
like early on she sees a platform she can't reach and says "i wish i had a double jump" and then in a boss fight she gets double jump and goes back to it and winks at the camera --- "life is overrated" - Seiichi Omori 01001100 01010101 01000101 00100000 00110100 00110000 00110010 ...

Samus Returns was definitely a playable video game with little appreciable story that I enjoyed and have no particular care to go back to. There's a lot of work for Metroid Prime 4 to do to walk back the story that was Other M, if so they choose to go in that direction. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

She can have some interaction with others, sure, but I agree the majority of the movie should be her alone, maybe 70-80%. Make it a sci-fi thriller character piece and you got something potentially dope as fuck. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.'

You can go ahead and tell me my opinion is wrong if you want to. But I mean look, this topic is about a Metroid movie, which is going to be all story and no gameplay. The suggestion that a Metroid movie could "ruin" Metroid is implying that the story of Metroid isn't already in a state of ruin, with which I cite Other M as the root cause. Suggesting a story-light remake of the second game "saves" Metroid is dodging the point of this topic. And citing a game we have literally no information about in the same breath doesn't help either. --- CyricZ ... Copied to Clipboard!

Samus is supposed to be like 6 ft tall and built like a pro athlete. Brie is 5'7" and average build. If a Metroid movie is ever made, the director would be better off grabbing a tall blonde from SI Swimsuit than casting Brie for the role as camera tricks can only go so far.
