Metroid Movie!!!!!!

Hentaitom · 01-05-2004, 06:31 AM

all i have heard is rumours and innuendo. is it true? are nintendo finally going to make a metroid prime movie? HOW AWESOME WILL IT BE OMFG.

sorry.
so do you think it would be better as a CGI flick or with actual people? if so who do you think should play samus? who should play ridley?

my thoughts
carrie anne moss as samus (dye the hair you wont know the differance) she has that 'strong' quality that is rare with chick actors these days.

Ridley should be James Earl Jones. he has the voice perfect for it (he has played so many evil characters its not funny... darth vader, thulsa doom (conan) to name a few)

They're not making one...

It got canned, probably for the most. It would make a bad name for Metroid.

A Metroid movie would be a stupid move on Nintendo and Hollywood's part. One because there really isn't much happening in the games. The could do something on its own I suppose but too many people won't be interested, and too many dumbasses won't be because it isn't like the game.

We've known about this for about six months. And they're not making one.

And Ridley... well, he doesn't really have a voice.

01-07-2004, 01:47 PM

And even if he did... James Earl Jones?

01-07-2004, 05:44 PM

I think he's dead.

01-07-2004, 07:10 PM

^Nope, he's still kicking.

Some production company was going to do a Metroid film, but they didn't, so their contract expired. No movie.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

bha ridley would need a voice or there would be no real speech or convo in the movie. and james earl jones has the most perfect voice for evil (just ask anyone that has seen Conan the barbarian)

That's why a Metroid Movie simple wouldn't work. There's no speech at all, except for Computers and Samus' thoughts (ie Metroid Fusion). Most video game movies won't work, so don't kid yourself.

A prime example is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The movie could possibly have proved successful, had it followed an already-done, innovative storyline, from one of the games.

I liked the Spirits Within.

As far as movies go, anyway. The same way I liked the Mario Bros. movie. As separate entities, they're okay, but I'd never link them to any continuity theories for the game storylines. I just view them as different takes on the games. Like the Comics Nintendo Power published a long ways back.

^Yeah, but video game fans aren't the only ones who don't like these movies. Videogame based movies usually don't fare too well with the critics.

Hentaitom · 01-12-2004, 11:55 PM

yeah i suppose you are right. tho i still would have liked to see what it could have been. oh well relity comes crashing back dowwn on me once more

Just make a comic/manga out of it, I say.
