Cinematic Gold
The Tetris movie has a budget for $80 million. Let that sink in. Let it sink deeeeeeeeeep in. Deeper. DEEPER.
That got really weird and I apologize.
But seriously, wtf. WHAT. THE FRONKO HOLLYWOOD. Are we so friggin desperate to not have to come up with original ideas that we scrape the bottom of the metaphorical barrel for any resemblance of a recognizable brand??
SURE. Maybe they’re going to spruce it up with some weird ass sci-fi twist. Maybe it’ll be a comedy that is self aware? That’s the only way I see this working. And even still, its not like Tetris has legions of adoring fans who are just excited to see the film adaptation.
This is Hollywood at its absolute laziest. I feel like, for all work the writers will have to do to make something as basic and storyless as Tetris have a story, the movie will end up an original concept. And at that point, the name is nothing more than lazy marketers letting familiarity do their job for them. AND IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING, THAT SHIT KIND OF ANNOYS ME.
Can’t wait for the chess movie
I’m quite excited for the bingo movie, myself
Tetris could work as a documentary about the (very real) competitive Tetris scene, or about the insane work and effort it takes to become an official Tetris Grand Master. Hell, it could be exclusively about that time Utada Hikaru (YES I KNOW) was doing so well in a Tetris tournament that Nintendo freaking sent in assassins* so she wouldn’t upset the champion standings. (She then proceeded to win the tournament anyway.)
Basically, what I’m saying is, Tetris has plenty of material to make an awesome sports movie, so long as they focus on the community and players, not the game.
*professional players given unfair advantages specifically to knock someone out of the rankings. But “Nintendo Assassin” sounds cooler.
This could be an interesting doc. But I continue to see news about it being a part of some sort of sci fi trilogy. *groans*
What. The. Heck?
Are they really doing this?
A TETRIS movie?
Next we’ll get a parcheesi movie.
Fantastic.
YOU HUMANS SOUGHT THE TETRIS MOVIE
NOW YOU WILL HAVE IT
All I’m gunna say is that Uno should get it’s own movie.
But as an anime.
“I play the ultra rare ‘Wild Card, Draw Four’ card! With this card in play, the next player in line must draw another four cards, and I will be able to choose a new color to play off of! Ha ha ha! Notice me senpaaaiiii!”
I kinda ran with that didn’t I. Oops.
I mean, I’d watch it

There you go
I’m going to guess that Tetris is going to be a metaphor for trying to take a B-Type randomized bunch of garbage lines and clearing them out… in the frame of social issues. Or something.
But it could be as @MeesterPeeper says like a documentary of the competitive Tetris scene. Either one would work.
But IMDB doesn’t actually have it listed (yet?). So I’m not entirely certain what’s going on.
Me neither. I’ve seen multiple times news stories claiming it’s supposed to be a sci fi of some sort? And I feel like a budget of 80 mil would be over kill for a documentary. It’s all insane to me haha
I don’t understand any of you people
The Austin’s Inferno fanboys are a strange and wonderful group. Please Austin, never stop making comics.
Also, I move that we should be called ‘InfernBros’. Can I get a second??
I second!!!
:D
