'cause i wouldn't have belived it
But I really can't think of to many people to play Samus.
I honestly can't imagine any good coming from such an idea.

Actually, that could be fun. Sponges on strings as metroids. Guys in rubber suits for the space pirates. A jell-o mold for Mother Brain. Wind-up toy cars with rubber stuff on them for the floor crawling bugs. And Samus flipping the fuck out all over the place.
If they can't make it good, they should make it REALLY bad. It would be a riot.

If you watch it on fast-forward and finish it in under two hours, do you get a special ending?
ROOFELZ!!
Is he making a metroid movie, or just making cinematic metroid games?
This part confuses me :
quote:
Tiger Hill is overseeing development of three original games, the first of which will ship in late 2005, with the remaining two hitting shelves in late 2006. Woo will direct the games' cinematics, oversee the story and voice talent, supervise motion capture and manage the character designs."We are bringing in top-notch Hollywood talent to our games due to John's influence and connections," Foxhoven said. Referring to "Max Payne" and "The Getaway," among others, he added, "Many games have already borrowed from John's films, so it was a natural progression for John to work on video games himself."
Directing can have a big effect in game cinimatics.. If you do a sweep over the field to establish the scene, it can be quite boring. Most game programmers don't think like a director would.. camera angles, etc. They just kinda show what looks good, but what may not be cinimatically appealing.
You can see the influences of directors in Metroid prime. Specifically the opening sequence (The jump, she's offscreen, then BAM! Right into frame with a powerful thud, then a slow move into her helmet to make you feel like you're her), the landing sequence (A calm area, a gentle rain, then a flash of the re-entry to the planet.. then gentle again, flash, etc.), and the end of the big rock guy (Thardus?) where she gets whacked on the back of the head with a rock.

Unless they just get crap for a budget, or are just idiots in general, not likely. Today stage costuming, and CGI has excelled well beyond the days of spandex/rubber superheroes.
Hell, while a lot of people hated Lost in Space, the Armor and suits from that movie rocked without looking plasticy, and had some cool CGI effects like the helemet mesh.

Yeah I'm not too worried about it looking realistic. I would worry, however, about fidelity to the series. I would hope they wouldn't change the basic armor design (IE she doesn't necessarily look like a chick in the armor). I could definitely see it being cool if they did set designs in the same vein as the second Aliens movie. So if they remain true to the look and feel of the series, it could be cool. If they don't, it'll look pretty but make us all froth with nerdly fury.
I do worry how the aliens will look. Metroid Prime (for all my bellyaching about it) had some pretty sweet-looking aliens. I'll be interested in seeing how that turns out in regards to the movie.

The concept art (Once you unlock it all) is simply amazing. I mean, the amount of work they went through to create a world is insane. Sure, it had some similarities, but they still had to create what amounted to an entire ecosystem.
There's even realistic backgrounds to stuff.. In the ship area, try looking nigh straight up at the flowers above. There's no log book entry, but there's still a data entry to read for it. There's an entire solar system set up, with histories for each planet, measurements, etc.
We'd have good reason to froth with nerdly might if they fucked up.

Your aliens example is a pretty good example to back up my opinion by the way. 
Although yeah, I can see them screwing with the continuity being an issue. Especially since no matter what SOME changes ALWAYS have to be made in the adaptation from one medium to another. At least these days games are so cinematic its not TOO far a stretch. Metal Gear for example... They could just pretty much rip all the game elements out and make it a movie heh and it would be perfectly true to the game minus having to do the stealth/spy work in the game.

I'm not banking on the shortcomings of technology at all. I'm sure, with a modest budget, that they COULD make it look fantastic.
I'm skeptical because I knoooow they'd make it a kids movie, and that in itself is enough for everything in it to be designed to look extremely stupid. Anyone remember "Batman & Robin"?

There was much rejoicing when Mr. Parcelan said this:
Kate Beckinsale would make a sweet Samus Aran.
This is true.
Anne Hathaway too, if she weren't just known for cheesy ass kissface princess movies. She's still hot.

I think Beckinsale has the appropriate look (Samus was always a small lady) and the cool, calm demeanor that would be good for the character.
I'd sure like to Screw Attack her.
Or something.
On NES metroid, she had green hair.. :/

So quoth Delphi Aegis:
That's a shiny red. Almost. Besides, the hairstyle isn't condusive to Samus anyway. Has to be freeflowing-ish.Or something.

Then you want the bottom picture with the freeflowing wavy hair.
