An Asteroids video game movie? Really?
While we’re discussing stupid movie concepts, we noticed on SlashFilm that there’s an idea possibly even dumber than the Smurfs. It seems Universal won a four-studio (!) bidding war for rights to produce a pic based on the video game Asteroids.
Yes, the monochromatic, quarter-munching cabinet from 1979. They plan on using newish Disney-bred writer Matthew Lopez — he of Bedtime Stories, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Race to Witch Mountain — to write the adaptation. When is the movie version of Arkanoid coming out?
Make this your daily (heck, hourly) stop for a fresh serving of pop smarts and cool things from around Tampa Bay and the nation. Compiled by tbt* jack-of-all-trades Joshua Gillin and his merry band of rogue journalists, it pokes fun at ridiculous celebrity worship, collects entertainment tidbits and features fun links to amuse and amaze you and your friends.
Errr Asteroids. I barely know good games which still remains good in the big screen. I heard that WoW will be a movie soon. If WoW will become a hit, I think MMORPG's and other games like Aion Online will for sure come next in the movie theaters.
