RUMOR: Jessica Simpson to Play Samus Aran in Metroid Movie

This makes me want to hurt myself.

wait am i having a nightmare?

Umm not happening. Nintendo would never liscense Metroid to Uwe Bol he has ruined so many game movies he's a legend of sucking. I won't even bother watching FarCry after Postal & BloodRayne theirs no way I'd give this guy my attention. Plus Uwe Bol bankrupted the studio that made the first BloodRayne the fact that anyone liscenses anything to him is beyond me!

Uwe Bol is a clown. I remember he tried to challenge a REAL director to a fight and he just sounded like a complete imbecile. Believe me I know what sounding like a complete imbecile is all about. Jessica Simpson??? I vote for Jessica Biel.

Please dont

no!........NO! n..not Uwe Boll.......NOT Uwe Boll !!! PLEASE!! NOOOOOO!!!!!! dammit Nintendo! what the hell are you thinking if this is true???? haven't you seen his movies?? I know i didn't lol.

"Ms Simpson feels the plot is too complex and would like to move the plot closer to it's core story of love and adventure." Please be a joke... D:

April Fools right?

wow

Did any Nintendo franchise ever get a movie? Seriously, I can't remember anyone, besides the Super Mario show.

No way!!! *grabs gun*

" What better venue for that than taking a dump on the dreams of millions of Nintendo fans?" That is exactly what it would be too. Awful awful idea if it is true.

No way Nintendo lets any of this happen. I thought they were extremely hesitant to allow anything like this to go forward after the Mario movie.

0 no

Somebody please assassinate Boll, seriously there are so many petitions for him to stop and backlash, can nobody in the movie bizz see his movies are worthless? He doesn't have any "cult" or "underground" following like some other bad directors, he has no fans, his movies don't make anything. There is just no reason at all for him to direct another movie, Metroid destruction aside.

I don't think either rumor is true. If either IS true.....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

........at least shes somthing to look at.

Now I suddenly don't want Samus to speak anymore.

Sure, why not instead of Ridley or Mother Brain being the bad guys, let's make it Eddie Murphy in a fat suit. We can have McGruber play Samus' side kick and James Franco the doomed love interest.

Two words: God NO!

Roflmao! That's hilarious, whether it's true or not.

They should let Uma Thurman be samus!

Oh shit

I guess we'll know the truth in 10 days.

No No No No No No No No No. NO. Do not ruin my most beloved franchise. Other M is already looking to be an upset.

Jessica Simpson and Uwe boll?? talk about epic failure if that would happen :-)

Don't you DARE let Uwe Boll direct it, Nintendo! And Jessica SImpsson is not an action star, so she just wouldn't fit as Samus.

Nintendo would never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever let this happen. Lest i lose all faith in them. A Metroid movie i could possibly live with, but Nintendo would never make it a low-budget horror story like this...

This will ruin the Metroid franchise if this is true,but, I don't think it will be her.

nintendo will never let that happen they dont need desperate money like others companies (ubisoft) plus the only way to make metroid movie would be cgi

Was the Uwe Boll rumor generated before or AFTER Jessica Simpson was rumored to be in the movie? I feel like it is the first of April reading this stuff.

My question is, why can't they treat video game movies like they treat superhero movies? They make superhero movies dark, edgy, with well written scripts and hire actors that can act. If jessica simpson is hired to star in this it will end up like mortal combat. By choosing such a poor actress, it shows they probably have a jokey script with cheesy one liners, little money for special effects and have a director that knows nothing about the metriod fanchise.

Jessica Simpson as Samus Aran? Hell no. She doesn't fit as Samus and Samus deserves someone better.

Hope it's just a rumor..... If not...... then.... NO NO NO NO..... NO NO NO NO NO NO NO...NO NO NO!

I'd rather have someone who could actually act, thanks.

If I have to choose, I'd rather have Jessica Simpson as Samus true but without Uwe Boll directing. It would be much worse if Uwe Boll is directing and a good actress plays Samus

Please no......after seeing Scarlett Johansson in Ironman 2 I could MAYBE see her doing it, but that's only if they really have to. If I had a say in it I would say it should never be made into a movie, unless of course, it was done by Christopher Nolan.

Am I the only one who doesn't want a Metroid movie at all? It's one of my favorite franchises and given the history of previous movie based games, I don't want to see it be a flop. I don't think the franchise is big enough to warrant a film. I'll be happy with Other M thank you.

Moreover I don't care who is in that suit, I want to see some Metroid action, with a stuntman in the Powersuit.

Video games movies are just so full of fail, I think Anderson and their producer should be hunged by their own b***ocks because they dare to tarnish the reputation of such beloved games just to put a name on their cultural money making diarrhea. But once again, we gamers are the one to blame because we are the first to go and watch these movies in theatre. I remember I felt so ripped off after Mortal Kombat the movie. I was 13 yo. What an idiot I was.

- Nintendo didn't like the way Super Mario Bros movie turned out so it's very unlikely that Nintendo would allow another try at any of their franchises - with Uwe Boll's streak of bad vg movies, i doubt they would choose him if they decided to allow another movie - Jessica Simpson just doesn't suit the part. A much better choice would be Anna Torv (Fringe [Olivia Dunham], Heavenly Sword [Nariko])

There's no way Nintendo is going to allow that one. A movie at all. Remember a certain Mario-movie.

At this point, I seriously doubt another Nintendo game is going to be made into a movie.

I don't believe it for a second.

No just no.

Uwe Boll = Fail

I'm hoping the movie wont be bad(if it is real). Nintendo probably won't let them release it if it turns out bad cause of what happened with the mario movie lol.

@TX109 You better watch out, Boll might challenge you to a boxing match just to prove to you that he is indeed a good director... And on topic, NO.

No that is all

I know they can do some crazy things with CGI, but Jessica Simpson in the Zero Suit may be beyond them.

Uhg... Well I mean maybe if she gets some acting lessons and really tries to do the role properly I mean then i guess I can't hate on her.. But I am not happy as of right now... She really needs some work.

Nah no thanks.

NO, just no...

:-O

FUCK NO!

Needs more Angelina Jolie.

Don't even fucking joke about that shit!

There's no Metroid movie.

1: ...weren't they going to do this before...with the lady that played th3 DX in Terminator 3 2: if Uwe Boll is the director, it is already going to fail. 3: i couldnt take jessica simpson as samus seriously. she is not "hardcore" enough and has that goddamn accent. 4: let us all hope this isnt true.

Samus does not speak, and ALWAYS wears her armour - does it really matter who the actress is? Also, if they break the first rule I aint watching it, if they break the second then we just need an actress who looks good in the zero-suit

Well...you guys are dense. Do you honestly think a game to movie will cater to your views? Hell..no. They need to make money...hence why theyd bring in someone that alot of folks know and like. Imo I say ley sigorny weaver play the part...with all the cgi we have we can retouch here to be hot as ^&*@! And we all know she's one tuff chick

LOL only good part is that Samus is silent in games, so Simpson won't have to speak.

Sorry, but what acting has she done that was good? Movie will suck and it will piss me off as it has a lot of potential. WTF. Tomb Raider got Jolie, why does Metroid, which is FAR greater of a game, get Simpson?

She'd be hot as Samus, but I don't think she could pull off the badassery aspect of the character. And her accent would make her sound like some kinda space cowgirl. This ain't Cowboy Bebop... this is Metroid.

movie will be horrid confirmed

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not tough enough.
