From The Hollywood Reporter, "John Woo has optioned Nintendo's best-selling video game franchise 'Metroid' for the big screen. It's the latest move demonstrating the director's commitment to interactive entertainment properties because it comes as Woo is developing three original titles at his Tiger Hill video game studio using Hollywood talent.

'We see a tremendous opportunity to launch a film franchise with Nintendo as a partner.'
