This is going to be a difficult topic but I do have ideas on who will play Samus in a Metroid movie somehow. Sure it's hard given her height above 6 feet, but with a bit of technological adjustments it can happen with any actress. Right now I'm trying to decide on 4 possibilities: Scarlet Johannson, Kiera Knightly, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Naomi Watts. My personal bet is Naomi Watts, but what's your say? Discuss please. :)

I'd prefer a CGI Samus.

Personally I picked Keira Knightley, since she's my favorite out of the poll options...

If Metroid does become a movie, let's just hope it's not Uwe Boll directing it! :lol:

CGI would be fun though, especially after we saw what Square-Enix did with Advent Children. That said my vote goes to Jessica Alba (Invisible Woman from Fantastic 4)

I'm not familiar enough with the character to make a real casting choice here, but Jessica Alba would be a horrible choice IMO--she'd definately bring in the box office but she can't act worth beans...I personally can't stand her. Everyone says she's hot, but I just don't see it. I see a prepubescent, naive, foolish girl who can't act but thinks that her acting "talents" are why she's famous, when really the only reason why she's famous is because so many guys think she's hot. BLAH.

Halle Berry should be on the list of options. She'd fit the role better than anyone.

Halle Berry as Samus? I don't see it.

This is Samus Aran.

This is Halle Berry.

See why it doesn't work?
