According to PGC a movie based on the Metroid series may be in the works? Anyone have any suggestions on who is suitable to fill such an important role in your lives?

Seriously, I''d take Nicole every day of the week and twice on sundays but there is no way she would accept this. Carry Ann Moss (The Matrix, Memento) would be a shoe fit imo. Oh what a woman!

Ohhh, good choice! I don''t know if she would look as good in Samus''s suit a that black plastic number she wore in the Matrix, but I think she has the right attitude.

Angelina Jolie (just to stick it to all of you haters out there)!
I'd be all for Angelina, but Samus has blonde hair right? I've never thought Angelina looks that great as a blonde.
How would a movie version of this work anyway? Samus spends almost the entire time in that suit, so is the suit going to be CGI? Big plastic? Maybe the actress playing Samus will only really use her voice until the end, when she jumps out of the suit in a bikini.

Obviously like other game movies, things would change.
Samus would rarely wear a suit and the main storyline would be about her and some love interest in her office building with the old army nickname of 'Metroid'.

Oh. Great. Well. Please allow me to kill myself before that comes out.

Samus should be played by a tiny asian man who can do all the flips and crap, and on whose movements the DIGITAL MODEL of Samus can be motion tracked. If they make Samus a practical prop/actor, the movie will suck. Period. I don't care who plays her, because all they need is a person who has eyes and the top of a nose.' No acting is required.
Now, as to who should do Samus' VOICE, because I just know they're going to turn her into a chatty-bitch, I'm not too sure. Whenever she did her little internal monologue things, I always pictured her voice as being kinda like the cliche 'female pilot' voice. Every throwaway female pilot in every movie has had the voice I'm talking about.

I had an ex who I thought could pull off the original Samus...if one implemented the cheat code and picked up the Varia armor to turn her hair green. But, I swear; put her in a pink leotard and give her a raygun, she was Samus.

If you take a look at the brief animations on Metroid Hunters : First Hunt, Samus seems to bear more than a passing resemblance to the medics from Starcraft.
So, she should be played by a CGI-generated medic from Starcraft. Failing that, I vote Ashley Judd.

I only remember Samus from the earliest games (the original, plus the Game Boy and SNES 'sequels') and therefore have never seen her face, so I'd like to cast my vote for Scarlett Johansson. Demiurge said something about Samus being blonde, and she's the first one that comes to mind (having just seen The Island last night).

Take note, everyone. From now on, anyone typing my name must do so in bold. I like the way you think, Razor. When the world is mine you may have a small Latin American country of your own. Probably Chile.

Actually, she had green hair: an awesome, pixellated blob of fluorescent green. I had an irrational hair envy for years. Nobody's hair should look that good in eight bits, especially not after saving the world from malevolent central nervous systems.

There are two ways to look at this question, and they depend on what we expect from the film. Do we want:
A) A good movie, which impresses us with it's immersive qualities and excellent acting?
or
B) A movie loosely based around the Metroid universe which has pointless explosions and goofy nu-metal music?
If the answer is A, we must find ourselves a good actress, or at least one who can express a range of emotion using body movement. Perhaps Nicole Kidman would be a good choice, or Sigourney Weaver (although she's up there in years, but, what can you do?) A shame, that.
If the answer is B, then we don't really need someone skilled in acting, we just need eye-candy. There are lots of Hollywood picks for this.
I do think Samus needs to be hot. It's really a requirement, which leads me towards choice B. But, after seeing as how I'll never get back the hours wasted on movies like Resident Evil, I'd rather a good film. Which leads me to choice A.
Arg, choices. I like the Scarlett Johansson idea, but I don't think she's mature enough to play the bounty hunter. Samus must be a seasoned vet of combat, right?
I'll settle on Kidman. She's good, she's got the look, and she won't destroy my childhood fantasies.
And yes, I've been putting thought into this for many years.
