Default Curses!: Metroid optioned by John Woo

Well, I guess it was either Jerry Bruckheimer or John Woo, and it looks like the latter has optioned the rights to adapt the Metroid series into a film. I'll just go on record now with the assumption that it'll be crap. The guys who held the rights before Woo got them were the American Pie guys, though, so maybe it'll be slightly less crappy...

How about Jar-Jar Binks? They could easily make it CGI 8-)

I thought this was good news. Better he does it than Uwe Boll.





Yes Uwe, you drink your beer, you evil bastard.

Alright, you've got a point there, I'll grant you that.

Yeah, this will suck. But Uwe Boll sucks more so I guess it's OK that John Woo now has the rights
