Dear Reader:
Metal Gear movie Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts discusses his "crazy" idea for a Metroid movie
Conversation at the 10:50 mark
There's no doubt that Jordan Vogt-Roberts is a big fan of video games. He had numerous game references in Kong: Skull Island, and as of right now, he's taken up the script-writing and directing for the Metal Gear movie adaptation. Turns out Vogt-Roberts would like to adapt Metroid for the big screen as well, but he says his idea is too crazy to ever get made.
“They’ll never let me. It’s too crazy. It legitimately would be [Samus] alone. It would be a little bit of her talking to herself. As soon as they introduce other talking characters in those games, to me it loses everything. You put her alone and it’s almost got a little bit more to do with the silence of a movie like Drive, like the quietness, and having it be like a real, intense mood piece, but mixed with sci-fi.”
