Main Pop Girl Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Just when you thought there were no more viable brand names for Hollywood to exploit, The Wall Street Journal scored some bonus points by reporting that a movie based on the classic video game "Tetris" is game-on for Threshold Entertainment.

Falling stars are actually the results of planets exploding after 'gamers' reach specific levels of the game. We are the war lords of the galaxy. Bow down bitches.

Trust Russia to make us destroy alien planets as part of a "game"! They are clearly trying to destroy the rest of the universe so that we're forced to live on earth with them and submit to their communist propaganda! #ConspiracyUnveiled #DestroyRussiaI'm really interested on how they are going to portray this, maybe they will do it in the way they did with FacebookYou mean about the making of it? I'd be here for that, but considering he called it a "big, epic sci-fi movie" I can't see it happening tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
