The biggest concern when it comes to a Metroid movie is that it came from a movie already. That's why the most important part would have to be in finding a color pallete and design that would truly differentiate itself from Alien. Stick with the colorful palette made available in Metroid and Super Metroid. Spend a ton of time on the lore and maybe even take a cue from Secret of Nimh and have a dark, mysterious character (Chozo elder) be the narrator. You could still have great voice acting without Samus speaking a single word. But you have to stick the landing when it comes to Samus and body type. She doesn't have to be absolutely gorgeous, but she probably will be. Don't be afraid to make it look videogame-esque every now and again, even if it's just from the point of view of a surveillance camera or something. And please don't give it to Uwe Boll or Zack Snyder or something. David Finche or Chris Nolan would be my top tier choices and I think that either of them would do an excellent job and would ensure that we would have an amazing film. Unfortunately, I don't think either of them like video games too much so they'd have to be paid a ton of money...this certainly wouldn't be a passion project for them.
