And why am I not directing it? 
What gives, Mr. Woo?

John Woo optioned the rights back in 2004 and was going to produce.

Damnit I need a hot ass Samus Aran, kicking ass, taking names, and removing that suit from time to time.

Hasn't it presumably been in development hell for five or so years? No one's even sure if it's been canceled or still in production.

The game never really focused on a lot of dialog or plot.
I really doubt a movie would be any good.

Only if it's done poorly.

That's because they haven't asked me to direct it!

Honestly, I think a Legend of Zelda movie would come out much worse than a Metroid one.

I agree. However, now we are fighting over which movie will suck the worst. I think most of Nintendo's primary games shouldn't ever become movies.

Dude, "Hindi Sad Diamonds" just started playing on iTunes. The track begins with Leguizamo singing: I only speak the truth, I only speak the truth.
Eerie. 
Honestly, I don't think Metroid would translate to film very well. Zelda could but it'd suck all the fun out of it.

Do we ever hear Samus speak or is it always implied?

She apparently speaks sometimes in the Metroid Prime games -- she's voiced by Jennifer Hale.

I played all of 1, all of 3, and about 1/3 of 2 (2 sucked).
I don't remember her voice at all.
Are you sure it wasn't just her grunting as she got hit?

She's just not talking to you. You must have pissed her off.
It's also possible she just did the grunts.

Um, in Metroid Fusion she some text, if that counts.

Not bad! High enough production value to look legitimate. But it needed to be about half that length and contain more action if it wanted to look even more legit.
