​Hollywood Is Planning To Make An 'Epic' Sci-Fi Movie About Tetris

It’s being developed by the producer behind the Mortal Kombat films from the ’90s.

A post from the Wall Street Journal‘s Speakeasy blog outs the upcoming film adaptation of Tetris, with Threshold Enetrtainment honcho Larry Kasanoff saying that there’s going to be an big story:

“It’s a very big, epic sci-fi movie… This isn’t a movie with a bunch of lines running around the page. We’re not giving feet to the geometric shapes.”

“Brands are the new stars of Hollywood. We have a story behind ‘Tetris’ which makes it a much more imaginative thing.”

Now, if you’re looking for some hope, Threshold’s animation division has done short-form work based on Lego Star Wars and Marvel’s superheroes. Nevertheless, Kasanoff’s remarks sound a little too much like the formula that gave us the cheesy Battleship film from a few years back.
