John Woo has optioned the rights to make a film based on Metroid, but that hardly means anything. Someone optioned it before him as you'll recall, the gaming high council met to determine the our official response, and then the option was allowed to lapse. Also, Woo's entire role in this movie still isn't clear. But I'm crossing my fingers, I want to believe that Samus Aran can survive the translation to a screen of those dimensions, so hopefully whatever intellect takes note of gestures like that is paying attention.
