I am in the process of writing a screenplay based on the "Metroid" video game series. It's mostly in the tone of a scifi drama with some mystery and brief politics in it. So far, I've written about 8 pages, with lots of descriptions and dialogue.
For this story, I envisioned Samus not so much as a battle-hardened freelancer, but more a tale of her formative years with the Galactic Police. The story starts off twenty years later, with a single journal entry from Samus. At that point, the reader is launched into the past.
So far, the only characters from the games I've mentioned are Samus, the Chozo, the Space Pirates, and the Metroids themselves. I've added several new roles, thinking of it as more of a military-base sort of thing. Samus is described as being in her early to mid-twenties, an early entrant into the Space Hunter training program. I've taken a lot of ideas from "Metroid Fusion", "Zero Mission", and "Metroid Prime".
So, if anyone wants to read what I have so far, post here, and I'll update the thread at my next oppritunity.
