http://thefilmstage.com/2010/06/08/uwe-boll-jessica-simpson-and-metroid-a-recipe-for-disaster/What do you get when you mix Jessica Simpson with Uwe Boll and the Metroid video game series? It sure sounds like a disaster to me. JoBlo is reporting that Uwe Boll is going to direct a film based on the Metroid video game series. Yea, I know what you’re thinking, it gets worse though. Set to star as our heroine Samus is none other than Jessica Simpson.
This is worse than the Kim Kardashian as Tomb Raider story we reported earlier. Seriously, what is wrong with Hollywood? Not only have they run completely dry of original ideas, that’s a whole different story, but if this is true….honestly what is there to say?
Video game to film adaptions usually turn out bad even when they have a good cast and director. Imagine a video game to film adaption with Uwe Boll and Jessica Simpson *shudders*. I hope this is not true. I’d hate to see them ruin a great franchise like Metroid with this film.
Is there any good to come from a project like this?
Yeah...
EDIT: Confirmed to be fake:

That thing smelled like a hoax the minute I opened that link. Good thing it really is fake.
Although, if Metroid were to be made into a live-action movie (a downright bad idea, but hear me out), who would you cast as Samus. Or who would you have direct, produce, score, etc? I don't have any ideas at the moment, but I'm curious what y'all can come up with.

That is an interesting question. I'm not sure what the "better" answers are, but in reality probably going to be Uwe Boll and some blonde chick.

Hrmm... As far as Samus goes, I'd want a gal who is athletic... perhaps, dare I say, a bit butch.

I personally would've thought Scarlett Johansson or someone like that, no? But Jessica Simpson.. That
would be a big leap backward. Does she even know what a SPACE JUMP is..?

I think Blonde Tally could pull it off, but doesn't quite have the right stature for the role. Not that that's really a problem these days.

No. I hate Scarlett Johansson.
On that note: would Scarlett Johansson know what a Space Jump is?
But, you get my point. Someone who isn't a bobble-head. Who looks like they were, in fact, trained as a warrior.
EDIT: Like Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby.

While this is a hoax, the truth isn't much better. John Woo bought the option to Metroid a few years ago, and I don't believe it's expired yet. So while he may not be as hated as Mr. Boll, and while the project may have died in preproduction, there is still a distinctly non-zero probability that we will see a truly terrible film starring Miss S. Aran.
