You heard right! Actually, this is old news sweatdrop , but there's no topic on it I'm aware of. Any way, John Woo is at the helm of the project and wants it to be a mega-budgeted space spectacle or some such thing; at $100 million I'd say he's serious!
"We are very fortunate that there is such an extensive amount of material to draw upon for the film due to there being so many iterations of the game over the years," Woo has stated. Fortunate indeed; he should be gald he's not making this after the release of the original Metroid like Super Mario Bros the movie was, which little source material to work from.
Well this could either be amazing or something rancid. We'll see, right?
What will this mean for the franchise? An ensueing marketing bonanza! Samus fruit gummis? Ridley plush toys? You better believe it. This is gonna cast Metroid of the shadows into mainstream media.
Here's yummy reading material on the subject!
