Tetris Movie Adds Mortal Kombat Producer, Has $80 Million Budget

This is going to pave the way for classic games to movies. I'll wait patiently till they do Pong. I'm sure the storyline is gonna be deep!

Hard to see a scenario where it will be good

This sounds so shit hahaha

Oh this I gotta see, it may sucks but maybe it'll be a stupidly laughable movie. Since it will have Chinese actors, there better be some Kung Fu actions as well.

a tetris movie? geez.

I can see it now...

"Since he saw his parents being smashed by a T-Block, he/she could never again eat a T-bone steak without screaming. Now, the world is being invaded by aliens, with ships of all shapes and sizes (wink wink). Game On, motherf***ers!"

Oscar material right there.

Eighty Million!? For TETRIS!? Deadpool only got fifty eight million, and that was a movie worth seeing! The Hell Hollywood! Put it down, you're drunk.

Month and a half late yo >_>

I still have no idea how they're going to turn a game like Tetris into an enjoyable movie...

$80 Million budget?!?! What kind of special effects are they going to have? Making a 3D render of a square into a... errr CUBE shouldn't cost barely dollar!

Ugh, don't we already have enough terrible video game movies with absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual video game?!

Seriously, what even is this, a real-life attempt at the scheme from Mel Brooks' The Producers? Because I find it hard to believe that anybody would greenlight this expecting it to be a legitimate success.

When I first saw this I was expecting a Documentary involving the game's development, which could have actually been good. This is just a joke.

Reminds me of this Tetris movie trailer.

Uhhh... what?

Well it's probably one of the more creative ideas I've heard coming out of Hollywood in a while, I just don't know how it's gonna work...

"The upcoming Tetris movie will be "an epic, sci-fi thriller.""

... What?

How do you make tetris into a movie and one that doesn't suck?

Is freaking tetris how can u make this into a thriller....omg this is just to much lol

What the hell is this blasphemy?

I find this rather humorous...

I can't wait to hear what the straight piece has to say to the block. And oh man, that T shaped piece... seems like a trouble maker to me.

Is this some sort of crazy prank? Are they punk'd-ing the world? I think there needs be an audit of the investors to see if this is like the German tax loopholes that financed all of Uwe Boll's trash movies.

The only good Tetris movie would be a film about how they came about inventing the game of Tetris. This is trash.

Money tossed into a fire

Watch it turn out to be some kind of generic alien invasion movie like Battleship but however, I really enjoy the Battleship movie. Honestly, I had the same doubts when I heard they were making a Lego movie but that worked out amazingly well. I think Hollywood needs more ideas like this where they take a franchise that you think, 'no way can they make a movie out of this.' and they do, because so far it's ended up with creative genius.

And speaking of Tetris movie, I played the hell out of Tetris when my Dad went out and buy me my first Gameboy with Tetris and I couldn't even let go of that game back in the 90's. I still play other Tetris games every now and then.

Oh come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!! 80 million bucks on a movie about blocks????? 1st world problems/bull...

No details about the plot because they need to smoke some more crack to come up with a ridiculous premise.

Please flood the earth again....
