Asteroids-THE MOVIE

whats_true · Jul 2009

Asteroids, the arcade game from the 1970s, is officially in development as a movie.

At what point do remakes become rediculious? I await for a Pong and even Packman movie pretty soon.

I think it's time for me to start peddling my Centipede screenplay again.

In a world filled with asteroids only one man can save the planet from impending doom from… Asteroids!

Coming summer of 2012!

Wow, seriously? what happened to having an original idea?...or at least a good one.

It can't be better than Minesweeper: The Movie.

But seriously, how does one seriously make a film based on the game Asteroids. You could quite easily just make any space movie, and at any point in time there has to be a sequence where asteroids are being destroyed and its done!

Mortal kombat(no story until the movie), Street fighter(no story until the movie), and most all 80's games turned into movies saw to that sort of logic's death.

The new logic is well if people like playing X then they would love to watch a movie of it!
"But sir there isn't even a plot!"
"That's the beauty of it, we get to make one up!"

I beg to differ about the lack of story for Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.
Sure, it isn't some greatly in-depth drawn out story that will entertain everyone, but each character had their own little story which was either told when you first selected the character, or completed the game with them.

Having said that, I guess you could say the same thing about Asteroids.

im actually curious to see what they will do with it , a completely undoable game to movie, and yet they want to do it , either way im sure it will be entertaining , in a good or bad way

Mortal Combat and Street fighter had stories.... All the characters had a story behind them. What they really need to make is a Killer Instinct movie. LOL If Micheal Bay is a director it would be awesome... Explosions everywhere. He might blow up the earth this time, then the suit would tell him no you can't and he would cry until they let him do it....
