Astroids the Movie ????

Universal has won a bidding war to aquire the movie rights to the classic Atari video game, "Asteroids".

Article on THR.com

With Asteroid's amazing plot and storyline I don't see how this can fail.

You just can't make this stuff up...

Well at least they won't have purists complaining about not following the original storyline.

I hear the title might be "Asteroids : The Wiremesh Conspiricy".

If Ewe Boll directs it I am definitely going to add it to my SciFi DVD collection.

Once upon a time in the great blackness, an army of angry white polygons plots to take over... something. All hope is gone, until another white polygon appears and faces the evil army, to defeat them with their own kind - by shooting white stuff at white stuff. An epic battle in film noir black and white style begins... Can the white polygon defend the stuff it is defending from the white polygons that want to rule that stuff they want to rule, or will the white polygons turn the other white polygon onto their white side... but even MORE white? Find out, this [add season here], in cinemas only.

LOL ... MRCL. This movie has the chance to be so absolutely, epically bad that it will become an instant cult classic. I'm kinda looking forward to it.

What about Double Dragon?

Dammit. The 90s are already over. No more movies based on the games from the decade before it.
