"April 08, 2004 - The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday published with news that famed director John Woo had picked up the option to produce a feature film based on Nintendo's sci-fi license Metroid. Woo did not announce whether or not he would helm the picture himself or if it would be handed off to another director, but the studios involved with the project indicated that it would receive a substantial budget.

The Metroid movie will focus on the beginnings of Samus Aran's adventures. Those involved hope to tell the heroine's story with more background and detail than ever delivered before, and they also hope to attract a whole new audience of viewers outside the videogame arena. "
