Ronda Rousey Wants To Play Samus In A METROID Movie

In the last several months, Nintendo has made noise about loosening its restrictions on its popular IPs and being more open to film and anime adaptations.  That means Rousey might just get her wish about playing Samus in a Metroid movie.  

"I've always wanted to be Samus. That would be badass. I love how people found out later that it was a hot chick on the inside. And then most of the day you're in a suit, so you can just hang out and eat donuts and be the star of Metroid. I hope they make a movie out of that."

Lego movie producer Roy Lee who's currently shepreding several fan boy projects in development has also recently stated that he'd love to get his hand on a couple of Nintendo IPs.  Is all this posturing an indication that Hollywood is now assessing the possibilities of Nintendo and its characters for film adaptations?  If a Metroid movie were to be made, what would you want to see and would you want Rousey to play Samus?

She's still too shitty an actress to play a character whose face you never see.

@BodieBroadus - It's actually more vital to have acting skills when you're facee ISN'T seen as opposed to when it is. So yeah, definitely a wrong choice.

Maybe she can't act. But she does look good in that pic above. I'd hit.

Video game movies seem to be tough to crack. Many, especially the early games, were about 1 character taking on challenges by himself. That's fun when you're in control, but I feel it's boring to watch. Filmmakers change things and add characters and such to make the film more interesting, but those changes make it less and less like the original product and that begins to alienate fans. I think that Doom movie may be a good example.

I did love the original Metroid and the sequel. If someone could figure out a way to make an awesome movie out of that, I'd see the sh!t out of that movie. Maybe a sci-if, psychological-horror-thriller angle with a bit of action. I don't know. Whatever. I'm going to sleep.
