They are making a... Tetris movie. :roll: http://time.com/3449402/tetris-movie/
By the way Larry Kasanoff also made this insult to movie making and animation, this abomination... that is called "Foodfight". http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/42895-foodfight

If they make the movie about the Russian creator of Tetris, how he came up with the game and how it was making it while living in the Soviet Union then it can be an interesting film. But that won't happen, what will happen is a bunch of blocks are going to be falling on earth with lots of explosions and destruction and "Only one man can stop it".
Sadly for the last 10 to 15 years Hollywood is not run by people who love films anymore or who care about films, today the entire industry (by that I mean the studio executives) is run by a bunch of people with Master Degrees in business and who ask themselves "what can I do to make lots of money, stock market? working for a big corporation? no, films!! !" And so they get appointed by the chair holders of the studios to simply make money.
Yes, you can argue it has always been about making money, but back then it was also about the art of film, 20 years ago they would have never watered down the sequel to a bad-ass R rated action movie into a family friendly Pg-13 like they did for Expendables 3 or Die Hard 4. In 1987 Robocop was rated X for violence, today it's rebooted has a Pg-13. In the 70's, 80's and mid 90's they didn't care and respected more the filmmakers and the stockholders.
That's my rant.

We could feed starving children around the world. Instead we made a Tetris film..... What's wrong with this world.

I'm curious as to how they're gonna wing it. My immediate thought is "cool!"


I'd love to see Marble Madness made into an animated movie, I*m sure it could be a cute one.

Battleship and Doom flopped. When will they learn? On the other hand, The Lego Movie was a big hit.

Still, I don't think they can make a successful film out of this.
