John Woo & Metroid the Movie?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-little-creepy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "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. 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."

    I already solved that problem. If they *really* want a top billing actress (I really wish they wouldn't), then they can just throw in a few more well known actors and actresses.
