A film adaptation of the classic ‘80s video game “Tetris” will be falling into theaters sometime in the near future.
Threshold Entertainment has teamed up with the Tetris Company to develop a live-action film based on the game. While no directors or cast are attached to the film yet, there is a story in place.
“It’s a very big, epic sci-fi movie,” Threshold’s CEO Larry Kasanoff tells Speakeasy exclusively. “This isn’t a movie with a bunch of lines running around the page. We’re not giving feet to the geometric shapes.”
“Brands are the new stars of Hollywood,” he says. “We have a story behind ‘Tetris’ which makes it a much more imaginative thing.”
If the film does well, Kasanoff isn’t looking to limit the “Tetris” world to just a big-screen experience. “We certainly have the canvas for location-based entertainment based on the epicness.”

ReplyDeleteCan we have a movie based on Uno next? How about Hungry Hungry Hippo's?

I can't even imagine what this what be about. Tetris, sci-fi and live-action don't really blend well.
ReplyDeleteWTF?

ReplyDeleteCome on where is our Jenga movie.
ReplyDeleteIs there such a game? Seriously I don't know.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Hungry Hungry Hippos and I would totally go see it if it was made into a movie!!!
ReplyDeleteRight out of college, I would give Twister as a bachelorette party gift so my memories of that game are slightly less family-friendly than even Saw...
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games... ;P
ReplyDeleteReally? How in the name of Loki's asshole can you make a movie about Tetris? Have you ever watched a mason lay a course of brick or cinderblock? Yeah - that exciting.
