Metroid Movie to be Announced Soon?

Hopefully there's some truth to the image below this post. It has some elements that make it look real, but anybody who's good with Photoshop can cook up anything just as good if not better. They've been talking about this movie for years now with John Woo directing. I think about "Hard-Boiled" and "Face-Off" and imagine just how great a project this could be for Mr. Woo. The action would be beautifully insane and that story would be just solid enough to keep you interested. Word is out that the picture was a candid snapshot for a poster to be set up at the Comic-Con next week in New York. John Woo is apparently supposed to make a surprise appearance and announce that he'll be taking on this project after he's done with his upcoming film "Red Cliff". I highly doubt any of this is true though, which is why I am actually a little ashamed to be posting this. But, if there does happen to be truth to this, I'm sure many of us will be very happy. But, May 9th of next year? C'mon now...Also, just for kicks and as kind of an apology for this post, here's the closest Nintendo has gotten to a live-action Metroid in the past.
