Guest Stoppit Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I think Hollywood are possibly scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one. In fact I think they've scraped through the barrel, and into a second, shit-filled barrel underneath. http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2009/07/asteroids-arcade-game-movie Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47104-asteroids-the-movie/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Quote Universal has won a four-studio bidding war to pick up the film rights to the classic Atari video game "Asteroids." Matthew Lopez will write the script for the feature adaptation, which will be produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura. ... Di Bonaventura's next outing is "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," which Paramount is set to open Aug. 7. ... Lopez came out of Disney's writing program and worked on that studio's recent movies "Bedtime Stories" and "Race to Witch Mountain." He also wrote the most recent draft of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," currently in production with Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel starring. God, that's pathetic.

Guest Fishtank Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Quote Despite the fact that video game-inspired films have not yet attained either critical or financial success, the film industry still believes in them enough to invest some serious cash in upcoming game-based projects. Producer Steven Paul, who has brought movie audiences recent gems such as Ghost Rider and Bratz, announced that his production company, Crystal Sky Pictures, has managed to bring in $200 million to help fund five films. These include Castlevania, an unnamed sequel to Hard Boiled (which inspired John Woo's Stranglehold), and a celluloid version of Pac-Man. Despite Pac-Man's rich history in both video games and television, this movie is going to be a complete re-imagining of the franchise. An insider has leaked the the plot outline of film to us: P'ak, a powerful warrior from a different reality, is banished to our version of Earth by a traitorous general bent on usurping the throne of P'ak's world. Stuck on our planet, P'ak ends up befriending quantum physicist Ernest and his young daughter, as well as developing a romantic entanglement with tribal tattoo artist Pepper. The three eventually help our hero return home, where he ends up saving the day and then bringing Pepper across the dimensional barrier to live happily ever after with him. Apparently, the P'ak is going to be a ripped guy for most of the movie, but his ceremonial armor will be a a close approximation to the round body we know from the video games; "it'll look kind of like those aliens from the beginning of The Fifth Element."

thehauntingsoul Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I thought the pac man thing was a joke but given that the first two in this thread completely appeared to be jokes but weren't I'm going to go with wtf. Seriously asteroids? Pac-Man? VIEWMASTER???? Does hollywood not realize that there are literally thousands of games between that era and now that actually HAD a storyline that would work as a movie.

Guest Fishtank Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 the Pac-Man movie was refrenced on a couple other pages but it doesn't have an IMDB yet so who knows Castlevania could be good but they'll fuck it up Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47104-asteroids-the-movie/#findComment-1080232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
