I would say Jessica Alba since I'm a fan of her... but hiding her beauty under Samus costume? that's wrong wrong wrong.

I also like jessica Alba. But she doesnt seem like someone to play samus. Actually none of these actresses do.

* imagines Ripley wearing Samus' suit and yelling "Get away from her, you B#$%&!!" at CG Mother Brain...

Although she's much better actress to play Samus than the choices given above, Isn't she a bit too old for the part now? I don't think Samus should be portrayed as to be in her early 20's (with her being an experienced intergalatic bounty hunter and all), but she shouldn't be past her "prime" either.

Considering how much people hated the very idea of Halley Berry playing Samus, Alba probably won't be well accepted either (her skins not "white" nor is she "blone")... plus James Cameron probably has her signed to star in his horrible rip-off of Metroid (we all know "Dark Angel" was "Battle Angel")

quote:
Cameron Diaz

Because we all know Samus is a f**king moron.

maybe Lucy Liu will play that bird thing and Drew Barrymore the 3 little jumping kolas... OH! and Mike Myers could have a cameo as the voice of Adam!

Who? Yeah, sure let her be Samus since I have no clue who she is (and ignorance is bliss after all)


--those are all AWFUL AWFUL choices, sorry to come off as mean spirited by those are stupid stupid stupid choices and who ever even made that poll needs to be smacked in the mouth and yelled at "NOOO!" several times...

thankfully it's probably worthless, since no studio is going adjust a toy-film's production to an actress picked over the internet nor would an actress keep a huge space in work schedule in hopes she wins said poll.

Late 20's to early 30's I think it's the best age range for her. Just let Cameron Diaz hair grow long, give her a more serious attitude, and Bam! Beautiful Samus for all us.

How about that Blonde Girl on "The Surreal Life?" She looks like Samus Aran to me, she obviously needs the money and Nintendo can get her for real cheap while spending more money on Special Effects!

Um, all three of them are blonde....which one, the model, the one from 90210, or the one from survivor? Be more specific. About Sigourney Weaver, Ridley vs. Ridley. But yes, Sigourney is too old now for Samus I think. I don't know who I think would be a good Samus, but when I figure it out, I'll let you know. But I don't agree with any of those poll choices.

Actually Dark Angel was more a ripoff from Cybersix more than anything else. At least the first season, before becoming x-men-ish.

I didn't know both and didn't know Alba either, and I don't really care about the movie since I don't think I'm gonna like it, but I just was curious about who'd you people pick, or what'd you say about.
Anyway, as Dr. Baghead has said:

I still believe Dark Angel has some Battle Angel in it (especially considering Cameron had actually planned to make a Battle Angel movie before plans fell through)... but it's obvious the show ripped-off then just that.

I don't like those actresses either.

My pick off the top of my head would be a blonde Uma Thurman. I always respected her as an actress, and I think she'd be a good Samus IMO with the long blonde hair, I know she's had her hair like it before.

i don't want to see Samus played by ANYONE. just keep the damn helmet on, have Jet Li in the powersuit, and a voice actress. they can have her take off the helmet and all you see is the blonde hair, no face. that'd work fine for me.

Jessica Alba has the lips, and the acting ability. I'd say her, but only 10 years down the road, as Samus isn't supposed to look very young.

Jennifer Garner maybe, as she has the best ability to look and act serious.

The other two...NO.

thats actually an intersting idea, make her computer generated or something, if this movie will be a real game adaptation (which i doubt) she wouldnt take her helmet off, unless you beat it in under 3 hours!...............ok, i dont know what im talking about anymore, need...SLEEP!

I agree, that WOULD be a good idea, they did that with Darth Vader from Star Wars. James Earl Jones did the voice, some other guy wore the suit.

But I don't think it'll be an exact game adaptation.
Think of it: in most of adapted movies they always wanna add THE FACT, because it's THE MOVIE. Ermmm, some examples, so you see what I mean:

- In The Avengers the main character (Steed was his name, IIRC) fought, for the first time, without his jacket, only the shirt. Thing that never happened in the series, since they're supposed to "Save the world in style"...

- In The Mask, Ipkis has to fight the "bad guys" without wearing the Mask.

So Samus will surely be somehow forced to "prove her strength/abilities/whatever" without the suit in the movie...

From these 4 choices,I'd say Jennifer Garner . She has the skills to do the things Samus does (or at least,pretend to be doing these actions) . Sure,there could be other options,like :

- Ashley Scott : she did a lot of action scenes in "Birds of Prey" . I think she would be cool as Samus (except for the fact she isn't blonde ... then,there is Rachel Skarsten,also from BoP,but she looks younger than Samus,but she would be cool,too !)
- Christina Aguilera : I may be crazy,but the armor-less Samus illustration from Metroid Samus looks a little like Xtina for me . And she showed she can fight in her video . The only problem would be making her keep her armor (and clothes) on her body ...
- Milla Jovovich : she was cool in the Resident Evil Movie ... I don't know if she would be nice as Samus,but she has the acting potential .
- And sure,we have the possibility of letting a new,unknown actress play as Samus . A new face would be interesting ...





I can be any person in the world ... maybe I'm this person right in front of you ... or maybe I'm not !!

Actually, now that you mention it nearly every masked Superhero ends up unmasked during the final battle of at least one movie... it's so obvious even if Samus was helmeted the whole movie it would get ripped-off/broken/removed for dramatic effect during the last fight.

Wouldn't be even cheaper to just run footage of him from the games on a blue screen?
