Fan Casting Metroid: Genesis

Born on the mining world of Kappa II-Lambda, young Samus Aran is orphaned when her parents and friends are killed by raiding Space Pirates led by Ridley in an attack that destroys the planet. Found and rescued by the bird-like race called the Chozo, Samus is infused with Chozo DNA to give her resistance to foreign environments. After having been drummed out of the Galactic Federation's academy due to disagreements with sadistic Commander Adam Malkovich, Samus takes a job as a freelance bounty hunter. When it seems as though she is done with the Federation, she is called to investigate the transport of Metroid creatures to Planet Zebes. Because of her superior skills and strong sense of justice, Samus chooses to take the Federation's offer and discover what would the Space Pirates want with the potentially dangerous Metroids. There she finds that Mother Brain, Ridley and one of their allies Kraid are leading the Space Pirates in taking Metroids to replicate and use as biological weapons against those that oppose their dominion over their part of the galaxy. Facing a final confrontation with the creature that murdered her parents and childhood friends, Samus works her way through the eight caverns of Zebes to the Space Pirate base with her Power Suit and Morph Ball to save their Universe.
