No kiddin'. I can't imagine her weighing a meager 110lbs., as the said profile mentions...this is a battle-hardened woman who might be able to drop me with a reverse punch.

Samus is also portrayed with the kind of curves that not many women have...an actual hour-glass figure.

As far as race of the actress goes...that is of little consequence to me.

Samus weighs 198lb, although that might include her suit.

As for asians being hotter, I don't agree personally. That's an opinion thing. The simple fact is that Samus is a blonde, relatively white woman. If you ask me she should be portrayed as such. Zhang doesn't even look like an asian version of Samus. She looks too young. And her voice is too high-pitched.

She was great in CTHD, but playing Samus? No.

Woo will have artistic license on the series. He'll have it so that it isn't word for word of the video game. But not a horrid departure from the series like...The Final Fantasy movie.

Kristanna Loken?!?!?!?! Damn you!

You beat me to it!

If you want to talk about a blonde actress that would fit in perfectly for this role, she is the one. So hot, and can play feminine mech roles greatly (take T3 for example).

Samus is a 'feminine mech'? No she's not. O.o'' I don't think she suits the role at all, personally...

...The woman from Terminator 2 might suit Samus, though, thinking about it. Possibly, anyway.

Perfect Idea: Michelle Rodriguez. (If not Uma, of course.)

Dye her hair, and there is your Samus.

Ok, here's what I think the woman has to be to play Samus:

1.) A woman
2.) Good Figure (Star Jones is out of the question)
3.) Relatively pretty, let's say "stunning"
4.) Can make a straight face - Uma, Kristanna

So, Uma and Kristanna are like two good choices. But, since Kristanna is better looking, she wins. And since she wins, I win.

Fyxe, are you kidding me? T2? She must be like, 45, 50 now! We don't need a bounty hunter that's the same age as my mom! Besides, she's no looker either. And Melvin, what good are shower scenes gonna do us in a Metroid Movie?

Woman from T2? You mean Linda Hamilton. She kicks ass, but she's simply not suited to the clean looks of Samus. She's the gritty Riply type

Fyxe: Did you see her on Graham Norton a year back? He had her dressed up as Vera Duckworth from Corrie

you'll only be happy if they pick some 18 year old anorexic blonde from some amatuer site on the net, won't you? Who care's if she's a little up there, makeup not only does wonders but if it is anything like the metroid game at all, she'll be in her suit 90% of the time ANYWAYS. And for being no looker...geez, looks aren't everything. Go back and watch Mortal Kombat so you can oogle over Kitana for a bit until you learn shes probably 45 now.
