Metroid Prime 3: Corruption hottie Samus Aran's way overdue for her own Hollywood adaptation. Several years ago, action director John Woo explored making a movie on the long-running video game series, but since then, mum's been the word. Still, we can't help but wonder -- which starlet would best play Samus?

Jessica Alba
Action Cred: Fantastic Four films, James Cameron's Dark Angel
Hot Factor: Can fill out a bodysuit.

Charlize Theron
Action Cred: Played a sexy killer in Aeon Flux.
Hot Factor: An A-list actress not afraid of on-screen nudity.

Keira Knightley
Action Cred: Held her own in the swashbuckling Pirates trilogy.
Hot Factor: Looks even better when not in gigantic period epic dresses.

Uma Thurman
Action Cred: Channeled Bruce Lee (or at least his yellow jumpsuit) in the Kill Bill films.
Hot Factor: Dance floor moves in Pulp Fiction almost made bloated John Travolta look cool.

Ali Larter
Action Cred: Plays multi-personality mom in TV show, Heroes
Hot Factor: Knows her way around a stripper pole

Scarlett Johansson
Action Cred: Played a clone of herself (two Scarletts!) in Michael Bay's The Island.
Hot Factor: The opening scene in Lost in Translation.

Milla Jovovitch
Action Cred: Resident Evil movies and The Fifth Element
Hot Factor: A gorgeous B-list actress widely known for her "body" of work.

Jennifer Garner
Action Cred: Alias TV series, the only good thing about the DareDevil and Electra movies.
Hot Factor: Never shies away from using lingerie to catch her quarry.

Katee Sackhoff
Action Cred: Cocky space pilot in the TV Series Battlestar Galactica.
Hot Factor: Seems willing to bed anyone who looks like they know their way around a Viper.

I think that Uma Thurman and Angelina Jolie would probably make the best choices, because you are going to want to cast somebody that is pretty, and has a cool image, and could actually pull of the action-oriented focus of the movie.

Angelina Jolie would make that movie rock. Everybody that has played Metroid would go see it. Mabey they might bring in some guy, like mabey Kneau Reeves as a sidekick so that chicks would come see it.



Take out Alba, Knightley, Thurman, and Jovovitch and we're good. Sorry, they're all great (at least Knightley and Thurman anyway), but not like Samus at all.

The others maybe...Charlize Theron's getting a bit old, Scarlett Johansson would certainly be interesting...I doubt she'd ever take the part though...

Jennifer Garner, maybe with blonde hair would be cool.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

And dallas, no. Just no.

I'm freakin sick of Angelina Jolie, and I might very well boycott a Metroid movie if she was the lead actress.

Does that mean you would choose Katee?

Hmm, I would have to say Uma Thurman or Katee Sackhoff (go Starbuck!).



I dunno...out of these girls I'd pick Garner, but I think there's more choices out there...more unknowns...

Very, very nice choices and summary of them all.

I think that Uma has the best personality and acting ability cut out for the job. The Kill Bill's were incredible. Unfortunately she is not the prettiest and has man hands which scare me. In terms of looks it has to be Alba. For a good movie I would pick acting over looks, but I can dream of the two being combined.
