Space Invaders ... The Movie???
« on: July 10, 2011, 01:25:48 am »
Saw this link on Slashdot:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/space-invaders-video-game-headed-208968

And as if the above is not bad enough on the face of it, I like this quote:
"And he is developing Asteroids, based on the classic arcade game..."

I can see the plot now - The protagonist enters a small triangular ship, and engages the enemy - large defenseless rocks.  After several hours of blowing them up into ever smaller rocks, he returns home victorious and is allowed to enter his initials into a hall of fame.  But instead of his initials he enters "ASS" or "SEX" instead...

Seriously, is there not a skilled and original writer anywhere in Hollywood?  After running out of Marvel and DC superheroes now they are turning to 80's arcade games for movie concepts.  :banghead:
