Atari’s ‘Asteroids’ video game is being made into a movie?
Say what?!?? I guess Hollywood is all out of ideas.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal won a bidding war for the big-screen rights to the classic 1979 Atari game Asteroids.
Writer Matthew Lopez, who recently worked on Disney’s Bedtime Stories and Race to Witch Mountain, has the task of inventing a story for the arcade game, in which a player controlling a space ship racks up points by shoots asteroids and flying saucers.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) will produce.
