New Line Cinema has announced that it will be making a movie version of the classic 1978 arcade game Space Invaders.

According to a report by Deadline, Warner Bros. had bought the rights to the franchise several years ago and is now on the launchpad for New Line Cinema to make it a reality.

No cast or director has been announced, only that New Line has hired Greg Russo to write the script. Russo had previously wrote the script for the movie reboot of Mortal Kombat, also through New Line Cinema.

the original comedy film from the 90s was pretty silly but decent.

Still waiting for those Tetris trilogy movies.

Here's to hoping this is just a cool alien invasion movie and not some "wink wink, nudge nudge" genuine Space Invaders nostalgia cash grab.

I get why the marketing of a movie with a familiar name is beneficial...but a Space Invaders movie makes about as much sense as the Battleship movie...and we all know how well THAT turned out...
