Metroid movie in the works?
Why yes, yes there is.
Warren Zide and Craig Perry, two men responsible for some of the 90\'s biggest hits, such as American Pie and Final Destination, are currently looking for the rights to create a movie based on Nintendo\'s famed and recently restored Metroid series. They are currently looking to hire writers, directors, actors and actresses to fill out the roles that are in the film.

Just found this out by browsing through the Kings of Chaos\'s nintendo section. If there is one wonder how it will turn out.

Mortal Kombat was a down right embarrassment, so was Street Fighter (though it had Kylie in it) and Super Mario would have had to of been the worse.

The only movie I think is worse was Mario Brothers, and that movie with Fred Savage where he goes to a Mario videogame competition.

BTW: I noticed Jean Claude Vandamme is only making movies direct to video like The Replicant and theres one more that I know of. His career has gone down hill!:crap:
