Sources tell us that Zide-Perry Entertainment's option on the Metroid motion picture rights has expired. This information was given to the MDb by a screenwriter who placed a call to the Z-P office inquiring whether or not they were still seeking a script, and was told that they no longer had the option for the film. Of course, another production company could always pick up the rights, but at this point, nobody has, so don't hold your breath for that Metroid movie premiere to be happening anytime soon.
