Samus in the commercial.

Prime Evil was the live-action commercial for the game of the same name. Directed by Alex Proyas, the 60-second version of the commercial enjoyed a brief time in cinemas. Digital effects for the commercial were done by Animal Logic.

On September 22, 2021, a 4K version of the commercial was uploaded to YouTube, and can be seen here.

Plot[]

The cold silence of space only punctuates the feeling of death that emanates from this virtually lifeless planet. Only one thing is alive and well here: evil. It must be destroyed, decimated, exterminated. But first, it must be found.

—Narrator

The commercial is a mixture of live-action footage and actual gameplay clips in the game. The Gunship flies to the Frigate Orpheon; Tallon IV is seen in the background. Samus Aran exits and begins exploring the ship. Samus can be seen shooting Parasites with the Wave Beam (even though she does not have it at the start of the game) and grappling across a gap. Throughout the commercial, Samus is also seen using the Ice Beam, Scan Visor, and X-Ray Visor. The final scene shows Samus confronting the game's first boss, the Parasite Queen.

Studio Kite built two suits for US Nintendo's Metroid Prime directed by Alex Proyas. One suit was for Game Boy and the other for Game Cube. Both suits were to be worn by stunt artists and had to be light, flexible and hard wearing.

The Varia Suit costume (and the Fusion Suit for the North American Metroid Fusion commercial) were both created by Studio Kite, and worn by an unidentified stunt performer.
