I've said this before, but movie producers are running out of ideas, and they are resorting to pretty much making generic movies or movies that really have no need to be made in the first place.

Sadly, this one falls into the latter. Asteroids was one of the most popular arcade games to ever exist. And what was it about? You were a triangle with another triangle cut out of the back end, shooting at giant rocks. Nothing more, but it sucked you right in. No story either, this was before plot existed in gaming.

So, how do you make a movie out of this? Maybe it'll be a movie about one man's daring struggle to destroy the asteroids that will wipe out the Earth! Oh wait, there's a whole fucking t.v. series that's already on that. (Meteor, the TV series. There isn't a wikipedia article up for it, so incase you're interested...)

Let's see...... Yeah, that's pretty much all they could possibly come up with for a plot.

What's your take on this?



Edit: OH!!! What about Asteroids searched on wikipedia?? In popular media..... Asteroid! A movie made in 1997!!

Just... WHY!?!

Wow... Asteroids... I love the retro games but... man.

I would rather see a movie based off Defender or Sinistar, my personal favs.

At least those two had a semi-cohesive story of "saving" the universe in some way, shape or form. Asteroids??

Hey, remember when I made this thread? Yeah, you don't. But now you have a new reason to remember, because they now have details for this movie.

And of course, just like every other action movie: Shit blows up and at least two people have to learn to understand each other... or somthing.

Aw heck, new T.v. shows and movies are so down the drain it doesn't surprise me anymore, tho the indeed have raised the bar for crappiest idea ever i'll tell you that.
But serioisly, T.v and movies are extremely bad now days, sure glad we have the internet, anime, and videogames left as i rarely watch T.v. anymore to be honest . ::D:

But Asteroid... seriously?
Sigh... i wish i could say it can't get worse, but i'm pretty sure they'll find a way to make something dumber, crappier, and just plain worse...they always do.

What the H. I mean really I am sick from trying to rack my brain on how this is even movie worthy. Really what's next? Frogger the movie? At least it had somewhat of a plot and I'm sure Pixar could turn it into some kind of 3-D family movie. Lets green light this s@#$. Seriously.
