April 7, 2004
John Woo has optioned Nintendo’s best-selling video game franchise Metroid for the big screen, says The Hollywood Reporter. Woo will produce the sci-fi movie and has the option to direct. Terence Chang and Brad Foxhoven will share production responsibilities. Lion Rock Productions' Suzanne Zizzi also is attached to the project.
The plan is to release the first film before 2006. The movie will center on the origins of the game’s female protagonist, sexy bounty hunter Samus Aran, and relate her adventures battling the insidious life-sucking Metroids and their controlling force, Mother Brain.
“We have to assume the mainstream audience is unfamiliar with the property," Foxhoven said. “As for the rest of the film, we will stay true to the game and have Samus battling the Metroids and Mother Brain in a fight for control of the galaxy."
Nintendo will unveil its seventh “Metroid” game, “Metroid Prime 2," at its E3 press conference May
