Metroid II

Metroid II (also marketed in the United States as M2: Return of Samus and internationally as Metroid 2) is a 2003 American science fiction action fantasy film directed by Christopher Nolan, based from the Metroid franchise and adapted from the 1991 video game. Produced by Charlie Kaufman and written by Steven Zaillian and Cameron Crowne, It is the second installment in the Metroid film series and the second film in the Metroid trilogy.

After the first film's release and success, fans pressured Zaillian for a sequel, so production began on a film sequel. Filming took place in Studio 12 of the Universal Studios backlot from August 2002 to until March 2003. The plot and imagery is substantially darker than Metroid. Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) created the special effects, as they did for the previous film.

Metroid II premiered in Sacramento, Los Angeles on December 4, 2003, and was released on December 12, 2003 by Universal Pictures worldwide. It received generally positive reviews and earned $377.4 million worldwide, finishing its theatrical run as the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2003.
