Universal actually beat out 3 other studios for the rights to make a movie based on the Atari game Asteroids according to The Hollywood Reporter. At this point they don’t know have a plot, but they do have a writer to figure it out. Hopefully that writer will be able to tell me why this classic video game was such a hot commodity that 4 studios want to turn into a movie. I seriously just don’t get it. Watch the video above of the game and tell me what about that says make it into a big blockbuster movie. What is next Pong?
