It's coming soon to a theatre near you.
>>732168393Cast SamusHard mode: No Brie Larson
I know anons will be like>who the fuck was asking for this?But the Metroid Prime commercial from 2002 was really cool. Sadly the movie won’t be like that commercial.
>>732168393I hope it has the same writers as Prime 4
>>732168709Debra Wilson
>>732168709Hunter Schafer
>>732168393Honestly it'll probably be better than anything Retro or Sakamoto can cook up these days
>>732168709>>732168393the single deciding factor for anyone to be cast as Samus is the ability to answer this question: are you willing to spend 90% of the movie with your face obscuredAny actress unwilling to do that is not suited to play Samus
>>732168868we don't know if it's live action or not.
>>732168863dread has a pretty cool story, what with samus dealing with her newfound metroid instincts and such
>>732168709Tasha Lawerence with a lot of makeup cause she’s like 50.
Hunter Schaefer, your time is NOW!
>>732168709Adrianne Palicki
>>732168393Will Myles be in it?
>>732168709Ez
>>732168393THIS SUMMER
Best case scenario:>Sci-Fi horror/action set on Talon IV>Samus lands on the planet after pursuing a Pirate frigate down to the surface where she uncovers a lost Chozo civilization and its ruins>Movie consist of her engaging in battle with the pirates while having flashbacks to her upbringing alongside the Chozo and her tragic backstory>As the movie persist, she gradually begins falling ill to phazon poisoning after discovering the Pirates secret lab>Only hope to save herself and the planet is to rid the sourceWorst case scenario:>Fucking hoo-rah Marines team up alongside everyone's favorite space bounty hunter>Actress is Scarlett Johansson>Spends 90% of the movie with the helmet on with unnecessary focus shots
>>732168709Idris Elba
>>732169832>Helmet offFuck hate being a mobilefag
>>732169332>>732169232>>732168820I hate you all
a metroid movie will never happen because1) the franchise doesnt sell2) hollywood will not stand to have a silent protagonist or a stoic less-verbal woman. It will be another other M
>>732170015There is literally a Zelda movie in the making
Nintendo is gonna cash in so fucking hard when all of this leads up to an Avengers End Game esque lead up to a Smash Bros movie
>>732170079Zelda sells and isnt silent. I fail to see how he is wrong.
You can bet your ass they would include all the shit from other M because otherwise the director would have no idea what to do with the setting
>>732168393I'd like to see a movie taking place later in the continuity, with Rhea Seehorn as Samus
>>732169832>Spends 90% of the movie with the helmet onThat would be a good thing. I'd be more worried if they went the Halo TV show route and had Samus constantly taking her helmet and armor off.>Fucking hoo-rah Marines team up alongside everyone's favorite space bounty hunterThis will probably happen though lol. Otherwise the movie is going to either be Samus talking to herself or constantly chatting with the Federation over radio for the entire thing.
>>732170259Other M just stole 70% of its stuff from Fusion. 20% was from Super.
>>732168868Now you remember the Halo series, Samus will be helmet off for 90% of the movie, except for the final boss and for one scan she will do upon landing on the planet that will say "Oxygen x%" giving her a reason to remove it.
>>732169923I hate you more
>>732170418That doesn't give her any reason to remove her helmet
There is some potential if they make Ridley just straight pure irredeemable villainous
This is going to be a complete fucking disaster.
Nintendo cannot do this since it would be too much like Alien, unless the plot was one of the more original things from the series like Phantoon or something.
>>732168709Blonde Eva Green.
>>732170125How would 3rd party characters even fucking work?
>>732168393Give me the Kirby movie now, Nintendo! Don't be fucking cowards!Also spanish Metaknight
>>732168709Ripley herself. I don't care that she's gotta be like 70 years old by now, in fact that's a good thing.
>>732173302If we only consider current vidya movies the first one would only have Sonic and they wouldn’t say no
>>732170373>>732170418>Halo TV showFuck you for making me remember it. Genuinely
>theatrical release>actress is in the suit the entire time>director's cut>it's ten minutes shorter>movie ends with actress chilling in casual wear
>>732173302Consider for a moment that Smash Bros was originally a game series that did not feature 3rd party characters.
Just make it CGI, Netflix slop series that use gritty realistic CGI cinematic are popular, even the jap made ones.That way Samus can be hot without people being fags about what talentless actress fucked her up, or potential major miscasts like some ugly jewess.Either way it will probably be mishandled by Sakamoto or Tanabe influence and be nothing that western metroid fans would like.Sakamoto will just make it re-tread Alien, Tanabe would make it a muhreens movie.
>>732170418I liked that the Mandalorian had his helmet on the whole time. Unless they changed that in a later season
>>732174428I'm afraid he's taken his helmet off plenty of times. He took it off in the first season, even.
>>732174792Yeah but that was the exception and not the rule. In the first season it came off for the finale and then he put it back on
>>732174858They stuck to that. For the most part. Bending the rule rather than outright breaking it. But it's come off a fair few times for one reason or another.
>>732174008Normally I'd agree, but Metroid was based off of the Alien franchise. Not doing a live action film feels like it would be doing a disservice to both IPs.
>>732173595KEK
>>732170125>Mario animated movie>Zelda live action movie>Metroid live action movie>Detective Pikachu covers the Pokemon movieSo that just leaves Kirby, Star Fox, F-Zero and Earthbound. Which one gets a movie first?
>>732173510Master Cheeks
Leave Ridley to me.
>>732176416Kirby no doubtThen Star FoxI don’t really see F-Zero getting a movie
>>732173595lol
>>732176129If it was years ago, maybe, but I can't see anyone doing it in a way that would work especially after Sakamoto and Tanabe proved to be poison for the IP.It's something that would have had to emerged at the right point, after the right set of games, with the right director to be Live action.Now, I can only see a high budget 3d film working for it.
>90 minutes of collecting green crystals in an empty desert
>>732173595I liked out-of-armor Samus way more before zero suit was a thing when she just wore leotards or sportswear. It's weird that she has another 'costume' underneath the armor.
>>732178010Blame Eva and various mecha introducing the idea that you need a full-body skin suit to interact with mobile suits whether they're giant or just an exo-skeleton.
>>732168393It's starting to feel like Nintendo isn't a big fan of making video games anymore and they just want to do movies, merchandise and theme parks.
>>732178227I already blame Evangelion for so many things.
>>732169108I attribute Dread's coolness more to Mercury Steam than to Sakamoto. And for some reason I get the feeling they aren't the ones making Metroid 6
>>732168393CGI or Live Action, that's all I want to know?
>>732178671If they had any balls it would be stop-motion.
>Sarcastic girlboss SamusNo thanks.
>>732178010Your sentiment is likely because the sexualisation of zero suit Samus has been disastrous for the public perception of her character.
Why would you need a full movie when the series already achieved pure KINO in the 90s?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR7ZqCYNXYQ
>>732168709someone black no doubt
>>732179073I don't give a fuck about that, I just think it looks lame and its function is lamer.
>>732168709Bryce Dallas Howard with gratuitous zero suit ass shots.
>>732168393I can't think of a single worse franchise for a movie adaptation but nintentrannies will slurp it up anyway. It's clear Nintendo doesn't even know why anyone cares about Metroid after Prime 4.
Anyone else only cared about video games getting live action films in the 90s and early 2000s and now simply don't want it as you know currently Hollywood would fuck it up 9 times out of 10?
>>732178578>>732169108Sakamoto wanted all the elements attributed to Raven Beak to be part of Motherbrain's characterization as evident by the Manga he supervised and the weird lesbo-Mother-con shit going on with MB in Other M.Either Merc made the switch on their own, or Sakamoto conceded that a chozo villain was more worthy of the "Samus was trained to be my ultimate weapon daughter" concept than Motherbrain ever was.He needs to let go, his idea for the weird robot brain boss that nobody cares about never fit. If he wants MB to be relevant, there are far better directions he could have taken.
>>732168709Elizabeth Debicki, who is 6'2" btw
>>732168393Sigourney Weaver
>>732179516*current
>>732179552>>732179428>Old hagsIt's definitely metroid boomers in this thread.
>>732169332>white Ezra Millerwhy?
>>732173358My thought is we only see Samus in the power suit during her mission with flashbacks telling her backstory where Brie Larson plays her outside of the suit and some younger actress for her childhood. Then at the end of the movie we see the helmet come off and it's Sigourney Weaver. No reason she can't keep bounty hunting into old age if she's got a robot suit anyway.
>>732180578How about we just don't cast Shovel Face Larson and don't make Samus a 73 year old woman? Cast an actress who is actually 6'3.
>>732174008>TanabeAt the very lesat, he just quit Nintendo, but I still don't blame you for not trusting Sakamoto. The last time he tried to make Metroid more like a movie, we got Other M
>>732178746But what if they had tubes?
>>732174008>Just make it CGIYou should have stopped there
is going to be a piece of putrid rotten shit. Anyway, there is a chance is at least better than whatever trash the alien franchise is doing. What a time to be alive
>>732180802Because there's nothing interesting about Samus just being a generic blonde woman and there hasn't been since the 80's. If the big reveal at the end is just, surprise, she's still a 25-35-year-old woman, there's nothing interesting or mysterious about her. They'd be blowing the chance to recapture the impact of the original game's ending when jumping into a new medium for the first time.
>>732168709
>>732181570>25God no, 22 at most.
Live action is the only way forward here.
>>732181726It's not, I don't even still want this shit, I rather Japan make it in Japan. We can't do shit anymore, I rather it be made by some American indie studio not in California. If not that, 2D, CGI, or bust.
>>732181726Get your head out of your ass, you're probably imagining some gritty 80's aliens throwback with good special effects and use of practical effects regarding the suit. Some hot A-list tall blond actress but also probably 30 something because you're a super elitist with ACfag aligning tastes regarding what Samus should be like. Phenomenal writing and cool scenes depicting the power ups so you can soi-face over?Not TODAY!We live in post marvel slop times with peak DEI casting and millennial insincerity writing.Heavily monitored detailed CGI produced by some french or Japanese studio is the only way to do this shit.Americans would NOT deliver it correctly as a live action film.Fuck you couldn't even depend on "It South Afrikaaners get genocided we win" Blomkamp to pull through and deliver something faithful.
>>732170373>>732170418I'm already mentally prepped for Samus to look like pic even though she's supposed to be on some hostile planet where the air is acidic or some shit like that.I will be screaming for her to put on her helmet internally.
>>732182484this is why an animated series would work bettersomething akin to the Genndy Tartakovsky cartoons I could see work pretty well
>>732181570I feel like we've been through this shit with Jack Reacher already and there's a lesson to be learned from it. Reacher initially was played by a profoundly miscast Tom Cruise in the movies. Then came around the TV show Reacher, played by Alan Ritchson. If you're unfamiliar with the show, all you need to know about its version of Reacher, is that for the first six and half minutes of the opening episode, Reacher says nothing.This, for the uninitiated, is both the defining feature of Jack Reacher and a recurring line in the series of books about his violently noble and nobly violent nature. Silence is the essence of the man. Most of the outrage surrounding the casting of Tom Cruise in the role dwelt on the fact that Reacher is a 6'5, 250 pound wall of muscle and Cruise is… not. But it should have been at least as much about the fact that Cruise’s energy is that of a chirrupy people-pleaser and Reacher is living proof that a man can be an island if he just puts his mind to it.So, with the tv show, the actual fans of the franchise had everything. The production team understood that the books should be translated to the screen as fully and as smoothly as possible. The later seasons are a bit iffy, but everyone agrees the first season was a good adaptation, precisely because it didn't fuck with the source material.tl:dr cast a 6'3 blonde woman as Samus and don't consider anybody else. She doesn't need to be a superlative actor because Samus isn't an emotional person. She just needs to be big and blonde.
>>732168709Sydney Sweeny?
>>732168709Impossible.
>>732168393PLEASE NINTENDOPLEASESAMUS PLEASE
>>732182647Look, Metroid is my favorite game series, but Samus being a non-character won't work in a movie the way it works in a game. With your example you've got Reacher interacting with a world and other people, but in Metroid Samus is physically isolated in an environment where every living thing around her is an obstacle. Perfectly fine for gameplay, not so much for storytelling. If they do a movie, Samus is going to have to have an emotional core because there's nothing else in her world to project emotion onto, and that means they're going to have to change her from how she acts in the games. Rigid faithfulness to source material has never been anything but a burden when it comes to adapting something for another medium and I'd rather get a decent inaccurate movie than a terrible accurate movie.

>>732168709>>732182647>tl:dr cast a 6'3 blonde woman as Samus and don't consider anybody else.Elizabeth Debiki?
>>732168393I don't understand vidya exec boomers' obsession with movies. Vidya is literally bigger and has more bang for the buck
>>732176605I read this as you implying she'd be Ridley which is way funnier than what I realize you meant
>>732183052She was born to play Samus, IMO.
>>732183104Anon, videogames are a business. The point is to diversify income first and to grow audiences second.
>>732183104I’m pretty sure a Metroid movie even if it does something like 300M would make more money to Nintendo than any other Metroid game released
>>732182732Literally all men would accept Sydney in the role. She doesn't have the stature, but men fucking love her tits and Sydney is already blonde.
>>732168709Elizabeth Lail
>>732183303I don't see a Metroid movie doing over 100m domestic even if its amazingly well received. Metroid is way too niche to do anything bigger than that. If we're being realistic and they don't want to lose money on it, they shouldn't spend more than 50m on it, that includes marketing.Can you make a good Metroid movie that cheaply? Probably not.
>>732169241I loved Orville so I'm for this, but keep the suit on the entire movie except for maybe a scene right before credits
>>732183052>>732183137>Flat as a boardStupid height faggots skimp on the important details.
>>732183806>Can you make a good Metroid movie that cheaply?Its possible.
>>732168393There's no way to do this without pissing off fans or alienating the "wider audience."I guarantee you it would find a way to do both.
>>732182647Samus is 6'3" in the fucking suit. I swear to god, feminism fucked up all the men in this country, Jesus fucking Christ, you feminist fucks might as well be gay, damn. Just get a 5'11" woman, put her in a 6'3" Power Suit, make sure she's white, hot, sexy, beautiful, and motherly looking, make sure she is in her late 20s early 30s, she must have blond hair and blue eyes. There's your Samus Aran. This shit isn't hard. They could have used this guy to play as Master Chief, the guy that played him in that shitty TV series was a complete miscast. Chief is white, brown hair, blue eyes, and is 6'10" out of the suit, and handsome. I don't know why Hollywood constantly fucks this shit up.
>>732184151Also this, if Samus doesn't have mommy titties, then what good is the movie?
>>732184681>Samus is 6'3" in the fucking suit.If this were true it would also mean the 90kg listed as her weight (~200lbs) counts the suit as well. 90kg (~200lbs) and 190cm (~6'3") only makes sense if we're not counting the suit.https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/mea/samus/index.html
>>732181593Going out of their way to cast an ugly chick is proof that this isn't about fairness at all, it's all subversion
STARRING JONAH HILL AS MILES MACKENZIE.
>>732184845There was never a contradiction with here height over some retard here in the US mistranslating here height, but there were contradictions with her weight in the suit. Nintendo says the Power Suit is canonically heavy and the games show this. This indicates that Samus is around 200lbs out of the suit. Halo tends to do this with Chief's weight too while in the suit, but everyone knows the suit is around 800lbs-1000lbs depending on the generation of the suit.
>>732185257*her
>>732185257You can see the source yourself, this is her first officially listed height and weight, they're in metric on the Japanese website for Metroid II, the page was pubished in 1991. It says she's 190cm and 90kg, if that is counting the suit she's wildly and unrealsitically light, where if that isn't counting the suit she's very tall for a woman, but not unrealistically so and 90kg makes perfect sense for a woman that tall. Thus if you take both data points into consideration its only logical to conclude shes 190cm and 90kg out of the suit. Then again the picture shows her in the suit so maybe they were just being retards about the weight, but they've never corrected it, this is her only officially listed height and weight and its left ambiguous if its counting the suit or not.
>>732185257Nah, she tall.
>>732185512190cm is in the suit90kg is out of the suit
>>732168709Why do you think Samus will be the only character? They just created a lovable cast of allies for her in Metroid Prime™ 4: Beyond available now on the Nintendo© Switch™ and the Nintendo© Switch™ 2 systems. Do you think they won't have a role in the movie?
>>732168393so....win?

>>732177264F-Zero would be absolute ludo if they style it like the anime. a live action movie could work too if they attain a high budget, but that's unlikely

>>73218848>Available on E-hentai and not even the Ex version.Anon you need to try harder.
>>732168393No, fuck off. Metroid doesn't work for the movies, its just off brand Alien anyway. There is literally nothing that you can do in Metroid that wouldn't just be seen as derivative of the Alien franchise. You can't cast Samus without completely losing what makes Metroid good and the second you try to put anyone else with her, you completely lose the atmosphere of Metroid. This is a no win situation. The only kind of Metroid movie I would watch is one where it is from the perspective of the Space Pirates as they desperately try to stop the monster that is Samus Aran.
>>732190584>There is literally nothing you can do.Have Phantoon Event Horizon a ship crew.There's never been a movie done about a literal space ship having a ghost.
>>732168709>Hard mode: No Brie LarsonImpossible, she was born to play Samus.
>>732190302Problem there is now shes obese, 90kg on a woman of average height is very heavy and doesnt reflect her build at all. She'd have to still be very tall for 90kg to make sense.
>>732190336The hell are you talking about?
>>732168709No one. It should be an animated movie with a completely mute Samus
