Unfortunately, it must be said so that none of us keep our heads in the clouds about this: even if this movie were to be made, you know that the people to be assigned to make it would so drastically alter it from what we've known it to be that all that would come out would be a movie based in space, with a lady in a battlesuit. They would slap the name "Metroid" on the movie, and sit back feeling confident that they've made something better than the original and fans everywhere will love them for it. Her name probably won't even be Samus until they change it back due to fans being outraged on the internet.
Now, as for MY dreams for this movie, it would comfort my own fears to know that they chose an actress that was older (late 30's to mid-40's) and wasn't simply in it because she was attractive. Realistically, women who take careers like hers seriously don't have faces and bodies that look like they had an easy life. This doesn't mean I want some hag, but a perfect example is Sarah Conner from Terminator II. Yes, she almost had to be in it because of being cast in the first movie, but who would have expected her to pull off her character as well as she did? She didn't go into it wanting to just be some hottie on the screen.
As for director, I would like Michael Bay. At least with him, you know he only tweaks the story enough to make a story to tell. He doesn't set out to remake the original, but merely to make it work on film.
As for Mother Brain, didn't they find a enormous jelly fish off the coast of Australia a couple years back? ;)
