By the guys who brought you "Mortal Kombat"! Doesn't that just inspire confidence?

Yes, actually. Mortal Kombat the movie was great, and is still the best video game adaptation by a long shot.

Spoiler for the ending :

You sunuvabitch I haven't even read the first book!

 

[redmetal86]

In an alternate universe, the entire world has been taken over by Soviet Russia. Those who express any opposition to the government are arrested and sentenced to death. Their death comes at the hands of an ancient form of execution, known as Tetris.

The convicted are chained to the ground inside of a large rectangular frame, where soldiers are positioned at the top. These soldiers throw tetrominos down the frame, stacking them around the convicted. When a solid line is formed, it disappears, along with any body parts that were left in the line. This continues until nothing is left of the convicted.

 

[Nerdkiller]

Just make it about the history of the Soviet Union and use the blocks as a metaphor for its rise and downfall. In short, an expanded version of this.

[Deft Beck]

I don't see this working out for them unless they have something unexpected and phenomenal planned.

My expectations are low.

 

[Winterblink]

They'd better cast Mr. ㅜ

 

[Makonero]

Yes, actually. Mortal Kombat the movie was great, and is still the best video game adaptation by a long shot.

My bad, I guess. I've never heard good things about it so I assumed it was like most video game adaptations.

 

[ElTopo]

WTF? Why?

 

[manueldelalas]

I hope they make a videogame of this movie.

 

[sixteen-bit]

guaranteed blockbuster

I laughed

 

[ratcliffja]

My bad, I guess. I've never heard good things about it so I assumed it was like most video game adaptations.

The first is the best video game movie ever made (which isn't saying much but whatever). The second is... not.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I laughed

Oh for christ sake! Only just got that.

 

[BronsonLee]

My bad, I guess. I've never heard good things about it so I assumed it was like most video game adaptations.

 

[Tempy]

It's very much a B-movie which manages to remain Cool(tm). The soundtrack helps.

Still wouldn't buy a blu-ray for the collection though.

 

[Molemitts]

I always wondered how well Tetris' cinematic story telling and deep lore, could be adapted into a movie! Can't wait!

Spoiler for the ending :

This gif pisses me off so much.

 

[RazielCuts]

Does someone over there think that Tetris is Space Invaders? - 'Sci-fi epic.'

'Which franchise did we get, Jim?' 'The one with the falling things.' 'Space Invaders?' 'Yeah, that's it.'

 

[MaximoffZero]

guaranteed blockbuster

Film executive said he wanted a real blockbuster this summer and somewhere down the chain things got miscommunitcated.

Yes, actually. Mortal Kombat the movie was great, and is still the best video game adaptation by a long shot.

True, but that's like saying a particular strain of ebola is better than the others.

 

[Yaponchik]

Will it be a porn?

 

[Oersted]

They'd better cast Mr. ㅜ

Nice

 

[Scavenger]

Would love to see a Tetris slasher film, kinda like at the end of Danganronpa 2 Chapter 5.

 

[TheDanger]

Spoiler for the ending :

this gif is all kinds of evil

 

[Silky]

cast Nas as the L

 

[MrCunningham]

They'd better cast Mr. ㅜ

And Ice Cube as the cube piece.


The Russians can be the enemy in the movie.

Yes, actually. Mortal Kombat the movie was great, and is still the best video game adaptation by a long shot.

Things are in a pretty sad state when the Mortal Kombat the movie is still one of the best live action game to movie adaptions 19 years after its release. Don't get me wrong, the Mortal Kombat movie was amusing for what it was and it actually did stay pretty faithful to the source material. But, it is by no means a work of art.

The fact that live action video game movie adaptions are still stuck in the same state they have been for 20 years is just... kind of depressing.

 

[Maintenance]

As another poster said, do the complete history of the Soviet Union arranged to Tetris, but in full length, and I'll watch it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

cast Nas as the L

Nas lost.

 

[Philippo]

Idris L-ba

Holy shit dude, you got me kicked out of class.

I'm expecting Charlie Sheen and Shia LaBeouf this time around.

This film will be succeeded by the Flappy Bird movie

THIS SUMMER

ONE BIRD

WILL

*crunch*
*game over screen*

 

[Choomp]

Danny DeVito needs to find his way into this movie.

 

[KPJZKC]

Hope you're all ready for Tetris: The Movie: The Game (an on rails shooter, developed by the Rambo guys)

 

[Luna Sy]

They could have made it a horror film where humans are being used to construct walls and other structures. Where I'm from, there's actually an urban legend where people are sacrificed and their blood is spilled on the construction site because of an old superstition.

 

[Space Runaway]

They should make a movie about Wacky WallWalkers.

 

[Fandangox]

One of the few times I audibly go "what" from reading any sort of headline.

 

[serenewarfare]

80 posts in and no "Samuel L Jackson" joke? I'm disappointed GAF.

 

[OnPoint]

Please use the superior Nintendo-published NES tunes in the movie somewhere k thanks

 

[Krejlooc]

The first is the best video game movie ever made (which isn't saying much but whatever). The second is... not.

I'll say this about MK: The movie: Its the only video game movie I've seen that is enjoyable without being familiar with the source material (and if you are familiar with it, it's even better because it follows it so closely). MK has a great story - it was co-created by a comic book artist and author - and it provided good source for a film adaptation. It's legitimately an enjoyable kung fu movie. Not art house shit, of course, but about as enjoyable as any bruce lee flick.

 

[Aquamarine]

War. War never changes.

 

[Alienous]

I want to see the sex scene.

 

[Begaria]

Anyone remember Black20 Studios? They were pretty big for a little while on youtube before...well, basically everyone just moved on. They did a "Tetris The Movie" like six years ago:

It's pretty cool.

Edit: Heh, not related to Tetris, but linking the Black 20 Tetris movie trailer reminded me of the best "Fake Movie trailer" they ever did:

[Fandangox]

My bad, I guess. I've never heard good things about it so I assumed it was like most video game adaptations.

I found to be pretty good to be honest, stays close enough to the plot if the first 2 games and had.fun characterization.

The developers liked it enough to retcon some things into the games, like Kano being Australian, Cage and Sonya being a thing, and Goro & Cage little references in some games like Shaolin Monks and Armageddon.

 

[Professor Lich]

Exclusive trailer.

Beaten by Bergaria, haha.

 

[Fedele]

So they'vre already attached Shamalyan as writer I see.

Bahahahahaha!

I just hope it's a huge acid trip.

 

[El-Pistolero]

Spoiler for the ending :

Argggghhh! No! Hahaha...That was cruel!

You can take your Tetris movie and...

How can anyone expect this to be good and pay lots of money to produce it? :\
