I remember waaaaaay back in the late late ’70’s or very early ’80’s, visiting the one and only video arcade in Squamish, and playing the hottest video game evah! (at the time). That game? Asteroids! The object of the game was to take your triangle shaped spaceship and blast the “blobular” shaped asteroids, and, well, blast them into smaller shaped “blobular” asteroids. It was AWESOME!!!
So, imagine my excitement at this news:

OK, so maybe not. Seriously, how does a movie studio executive think that a low tech video game can translate into an awesome movie? Hollywood is in serious trouble if they have to sink to this level to find a way to make money! Are we really that short of new ideas that we have to mine simple video games to make a buck?
