We've had a movie based on Battleship. We've had a movie based on Lego. It was only a matter of time before another stable of people's childhood, the video game Tetris, would be translated to the big screen, courtesy of Threshold Entertainment. Now walking, talking Lego figures was a no-brainer, and a case could be made that the aliens vs the Navy plot of Battleship made some sort of sense, but I can't see much of movie being made of squares, lines and t-blocks falling from the sky.
Threshold CEO, and producer on 1995's Mortal Kombat, Larry Kasanoff has promised a live action 'very big, epic sci-fi movie', but again, I don't see how the Tetris brand can be spun off into a movie. Time will tell how Tetris will look on the big screen, but I'm saying this now: the games epic music better be kept intact!
