‘Tetris The Movie’ Taking Shape At New Bruno Wu-Larry Kasanoff Joint Venture Threshold Global Studios – Cannes

Live-action Tetris movie takes shape with $80 million in funding

Threshold's Larry Kasanoff is no stranger to video game adaptations. He worked on the halfway decent Mortal Kombat film back in 1995, which grossed $70 million. Asian media mogul Bruno Wu, who set up a $1.6 billion media fund late last year, will serve as co-producer on the film, seemingly ensuring that the movie will be able to sustain any unplanned budget overruns.

Deadline reports that filming is planned for 2017 with Chinese locations and a Chinese cast, though "the goal is to make world movies for the world market," according to Kasanoff. The film could even be the basis for a trilogy, the producer says, with a plot that's "not at all what you think; it will be a cool surprise." Back in 2014, Kasanoff told the Wall Street Journal that "this isn't a movie with a bunch of lines running around the page. We’re not giving feet to the geometric shapes... What you [will] see in Tetris is the teeny tip of an iceberg that has intergalactic significance."

We did it brehs.

‘Monopoly’ Movie Going Forward With Lionsgate

Don't know if its still "a thing", but yeah, its been discussed & even had Ridley Scott's name attached at one point in time(no longer, though). fukk it, if they can do this & Tetris, give me that Yahtzee movie about a young breh from the hood going from shootin' dice in the halls of public schools to getting into espionage and terrorism centered around high stakes dice games.
