Videogames always had epic storylines that Hollywood loves to adapt into movies. And more often than not, those movies are hated by the hard-core gamers. Cause let’s face it, how on earth do you expect to give an average 20+ hours of gameplay justice in a 2 hour movie.
However there are still some game movies that are building up quite a good rep (Warcraft comes to mind). Added to that, a somewhat recent announcement captured our interest.
About a year ago it was announce that a Tetris movie in in the works. We are told that the movie will be an epic sci-fi adventure and that it is not what we think (that is good cause I am not up for watching two hours of self-assorting tiles). Filming will begin in 2017 taking place in China among other locations. It is also reported that the movie will have an $80 million budget. I am not very experienced (not at all) with film budgeting, but that looks like a lot of money no?
Let me know how you feel about the idea of a Tetris movie? What do you think the movie is gonna be about? Will the movie help redeem videogame movies? And what do you think of video game movies in general?
