Asteroids Movie Announced

[HardRockSamurai]

For all you old timers out there, remember that 1979 game Asteroids?

Yeah, apparently Universal Pictures just bought the rights to make a movie based off of it.

No, I'm not joking.

Thoughts, anyone?

Uwe Boll directing?

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

the plot line has me confuesed already...

 

[PureChaos]

not sue about that. they'll still probably foul it up

If Lorenzo di Bonaventura can screw up a movie based on a game with as much potential as Doom then I wonder how he's going to handle this. In other news, he's also working on Beverly Hills Cop IV, to be released in 2012.

Seriously [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910842/].

 

[Zyxzy]

Michael Bay should direct.

 

[avelmen1889]

i think my brain just exploded for the sheer dumbass-atude of thse people. How can you make a movie about asteroids

 

[AceDiamond]

Uwe Boll directing?

I think this is more up Michael Bay's explosion-filled alley

 

[GuerrillaClock]

I think he already did this with Armageddon...

Do you really need to buy rights to something like this in order to make a movie? I'm sure if you made a movie about a group that has to destroy asteroids before they hit earth, no one would jump to the conclusion that it came from this game.

The might as well have called Armageddon Asteroids.

As long as there's at least 30 minutes of megan fox screen-time.

Although I completely agree with you I'm sure that the rights on a 1979 game are a lot cheaper than on the Armaggedon franchise.

This can only be good.

Won't be better than Minesweeper: The Movie

Bwahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha!

Seriously, that is the only response I can come up with, it is just too hilarious.

 

[quack35]

Well, this is the most asinine idea for a movie I've ever seen.

I meant that they could have named the movie Asteroids instead of Armageddon and people still would have said it was closely enough based on the game. Not that they should buy the rights to Armageddon instead.

"Captain, were running out of lives sir and the asteroids are just multiplying as we destroy them, face it..its..its game over!"

"DONT YOU EVER SAY THAT JENKINS!Well get these asteroids, they killed my family, my friends, but I wont let them kill my ship!"

Sounds like shit...
