    I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
    I'll call this publicity stunt.

    The guy is making a random stupid space movie and decided to adopt Asteroids so AT LEAST oldschool gaming fans gets interested in it.

    "Big thing in space"

    ... I see that some truly brilliant minds were behind this project.

    Pitchman: "Y'see, the concept evolves a thing in space..."

    Suit: "Meh. Been done."

    Pitchman: "A *big* thing in space! And there are brothers having a crisis! In space! Zero G family therapy!"

    Suit: "Well, fuck me sideways with a baseball bat and call me St. Scrappy! You got yourselves a deal!"

    *Pitchman clicks heels and runs to tell everybody the news*

    Secretary: "You can't be serious."

    Suit: "I just didn't have the heart to tell that poor little guy off. He really believes that this is the next big hit, and after his idea for The Q-Bert Movie got kiboshed, he's been smoking his weight in meth every night and crying dramatically in the middle of the street."

    @ShaggE wants to join the Egg Council.:

    Actually, I hear they got John Depp to play Q-Bert. (Not Johny Depp, but the celebrity impersonator by that name).

    I hope they can convince Ramis to direct it! After all they already secured Gary Busey's teeth as the light-up blocks.

    Oh my god, I can't waaaaaaaiiiiit

    This is why some games shouldn't be made into movies... NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO HAVE A FUCKING STORY!!

    What's next... is PONG going to be made into a movie as well? A story of 2 waring nations fighting with the greatest devastating object ever to exist, and the one who can't deflect it will cease to exist? There... you happy, Hollywood? I just gave you another brilliant movie idea... GO CUT ME A FUCKING CHECK.

    One more post about the actual movie,

    Its been done. Its called Armageddon and it was pretty neat.

    This is the worst idea for a movie ever. Is Uwe Boll directing this garbage? Maybe then all the shitty in this movie can come together and create something sweet. Like 10 smells that all smell terrible, but when they're combined they smell good.

    i never thought i would hear of an astroids movie! i can guess this script was shat onto the desk of a producer by a very attractive young lady.
    But seriously, this movie cannot possibly be any good if it all resembles the game!

    @Fernando Jorge:
    my guess for the story is...giant asteroid heads for earth...military ignores smart ass brothers who are scientists and they send a ton of nukes at it....the giant asteroid is now a million little ones....the smart ass brothers played "asteroids" all through college and agree to operate unmanned drones that will now dispense of the remaining asteroid shards...somehow requires a trip into space....for some reason the older brother sacrifices his life for the younger...younger gets the smart scientist girl. In an attempt to connect with gamers we see the words "GAME OVER" JUST BEFORE THE CREDITS.

    i then stand up in cinema and contemplate the complexity of time travel in order to retrieve the 90 minutes i just lost from my life.

    @pinshot: But you know what's worse than the movie? It is the video game they'll release to go with the movie. It'll be rushed, as the noble movie to game tradition demands, and every review of the game will note how the original still manages to be better.

    I was attracted to Asteroids, plain and simple, because I think what it tells you is that there's going to be this big thing in space.

    Nothing in the history of man deserves this more:

    lolwut?

    And an Asteroids movie? Been done, its called Armageddon and it was pretty neat.

    Um Yay?! While I do admit I want to see a big screen version of Bioshock (as its story was badass) I'm also wary of it being sucky. Which terrifies me to no end as to how much suckage can happen...


    Oh and $160 mil?? Pfft! Give it to Uwe Boll and have him make it with $100 dollars,some loose change! They can shoot the entire thing at the nearest McDonalds! Hurry!

    I wish people wouldn't refer to him as the PotC director - at least when it comes to Bioshock. I'm not looking for his PotC credentials; I think his "Ring" credentials will have the desired effect
