There appear to be some rumors floating around that Micheal Bay may be taking part in the development of a Metroid movie.

[From Nintencast.com]

The rumours concerning a Metroid movie are still on-going, and today yet another rumour has sprung up. According to the source, Micheal Bay (award winning director of Transformers, Pearl Harbor and The Island) will be the one to produce the Metroid movie.

Seeing as he’s directed and produced many high-octane films in the past, it doesn’t seem unreasonable that he should be involved with the making of it. The question is, however, when will he be able to find the time to? According to Wikipeida, Micheal Bay has films planned until 2010, but only has one film planned for that year, with 3 in ‘09.

Just to reiterate, this is merely a rumour and could mean nothing. But, whatever the situation is, Nintencast will keep you posted.
