Now ‘Tetris’ Is Becoming An Epic Sci-Fi Movie Trilogy

  Apparently, it’s Come Up With Utterly Effing Ridiculous Movie Ideas Week. I didn’t know this. I thought Atari had already taken that particular cake with their whole Centipede: The Movie thing. Still, as the Internet shows us on a daily basis, there’s always room for more dumbassery.  

So… Tetris as a three-part sci fi thriller series, anyone?

Yup, this is a thing. I can think of a couple better ways to blow $80 million, frankly. About… eighty million better ways, really.  But that is indeed the price of this supposed venture, a collaboration between American Threshold Entertainment and Chinese Seven Star Works. The newly-formed Threshold Global Works is sure to be an international cinema powerhouse if this is the kind of shit they’ll be pumping out.

The press release states, ‘Today there are so many great sources on which to build a movie blockbuster and video gaming is certainly an amazing category with its huge international following, so to have this legacy brand, Tetris, is a great first project for us.’

The best we can really hope for is a so-damn-bad-it's-good sort of situation.
