A movie about Tron is definitely cool – way too cool, and thankfully, the remake that was released a few years ago had the advantage of brilliant CGI getting the job done, although the actors, too, had to have their fair share of acting. However, just how the heck can one actually come up with a movie adapted from the classic ‘80s puzzle video game “Tetris” is set to hit the silver screen some time down the road.
It would definitely be interesting to see just what kind of storyline will be in place of a game premise where falling bricks known as tetrominos fall down in varying sizes and lengths, where you attempt to clear as many lines as possible while scoring the most points possible with each clearance.
Threshold Entertainment has worked alongside the Tetris Company to roll out a live-action film that will be based on the game. So far, there has been no mention of any directors or cast concerning the film, but Threshold’s CEO Larry Kasanoff did mention, “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.”
Hopefully the movie will be nothing like dropping brick after brick – that works great as a game, and a game alone.
