Space Invaders Movie a- bwuh?

[Sieg Firebrand]

Warner Bros. has reportedly optioned a Space Invaders movie.The studio is apparently negotiating a contract with licence holders Taitoto bring the beloved sci- fi shooter to the cinema. So at least any claims of a paper- thin plot will be true to the source material.

Studios need to learn that movie based on games rarely are any good.

Really? There isn't much you can do with Space Invaders.

 

[Sieg Firebrand]

But how can you have a movie on Space Invaders, there is NO plot

 

[The Eggplant]

Yeah, because THAT's ever stopped Hollywood.

I personally am looking forward to the big twist, where it is revealed the advancing alien forces have in fact switched directions and are heading to the left.

And then to the right again.

head to the left! go down! move faster! move right! go down! move even slightly faster! etc. you get the point really

Making a movie based upon a video game only to make money? Oh Hollywood when will you stop.

 

[Sieg Firebrand]

To be fair it hasn't been announced yet and they may not make it but when the source material can'tt even be bothered to make up a plot, what in the hell gives Hollywood the right to try and give it one!?!

I don't know. I think one would be pretty easy to make. Just take any generic sci-fi plot and it probably work. Hell, I can imagine the trailer voice over right now.

"We sent out a message of peace, they responded with war. This summer, a man must pilot his destiny, to save everyone he loves."

The main character would probably be a disgruntled, divorced man, trying to win back his love...or something.

And probably starring Tom Cruise
