Samus Aran may soon be re-gracing our GameCube, but not the big screen.

It turns out that a Metroid movie is not in the works. It appears that John Woo's company has acquired the rights to talk about the possibility of a movie with Nintendo.

Producer Yoshio Sakamoto spoke about the matter. "There were some misleading reports before the E3 that Metroid's production was confirmed. But to be accurate, it's that the company that John Woo works for has gained the rights to negotiate with Nintendo of America to make Metroid into a movie. Metroid's production hasn't been officially decided yet, and there's no release plans for it."
