With all the movie adaptations of video games that have popped up over the years, it was only a matter of time before someone tried to turn
Tetris into a movie.
Movie studio Threshold Entertainment has grabbed the rights to create a
Tetris live-action film,
according to the Wall Street Journal, and plans to turn it into a sci-fi epic.
Threshold CEO Larry Kasanoff was the guy who made the
Mortal Kombat movie happen, and he's hoping the
Tetris brand will sell the movie.
"This isn’t a movie with a bunch of lines running around the page," he said. "We're not giving feet to the geometric shapes.... We have a story behind
Tetris which makes it a much more imaginative thing."
There isn't yet a director or a cast in place, but the story is apparently written up. "What you [will] see in
Tetris is the teeny tip of an iceberg that has intergalactic significance,” Kasanoff added.
