Big-Budget Tetris Movie Will Have “Intergalactic Significance”
 |
This according to Larry Kasanoff, producer of the Mortal Kombat movie, who has announced that Tetris is his next big film. “This isn’t a movie with a bunch of lines running around the page. We’re not giving feet to the geometric shapes,” says Kasanoff, who adds that they plan to spin off “location-based entertainment based on the epicness.”
All I know is they need to pay Katy Perry the big bucks to do a cover of “You’re so Square” as the theme song. And that whatever they do won’t be as good as the fake trailer Machinima made two years ago (below).
What would you like to see in a Tetris movie? I’m thinking you replace the blocks with Human Centipedes being tossed down a chute by a mad Russian who plays the same folk songs on an endless loop. Or was that just my fever dream last night after too much grape vodka?
