The movie industry has once again pulled through for gamers to give us a blast from the past! It looks like Asteroids is going to be made into a full-featured production!
Here's the update about Asteriods - The Movie:
Asteroids, the arcade game from the 1970s, is officially in development as a movie. Yup, you read that right.
Once again, news has arrived from the land of Hollywood that another major
video game franchise is being adapted for the silver screen. Last week, it was
announced that
Uncharted
would get a celluloid makeover; this week, it's a much older franchise
that's being adapted. It turns out that Asteroids, the Atari game
from 1979 (thus making it older than many in the current generation of gamers)
will be coming to theaters sometime in the future.
Astonishingly, not only is Asteroids being made into a movie, but there was an actual bidding war between four major studios for the rights. Universal Studios has emerged the winner.
