Tetris! the Movie
This week, Threshold Entertainment Group, the production company that turned the Mortal Kombat video-game series into a pair of feature films back in the nineties, announced that it was in the early stages of a new project: a movie based on the beloved video game Tetris. The online response to the news, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, was marked by a mix of confusion, skepticism, and derision. How could the movements of a bunch of faceless, lifeless objects be the

Did you know there's going to be a film about Tetris? Or that the CIA has its own branch of Starbucks? Neither did we, but they're among the top ten discoveries we've made over the past seven days... By Greg Noone
Tetris: The Movie and 5 other video games that would be better with popcorn
Remember when you were a kid and all you ever dreamed about was that one day, in the distant future, you'd finally get to see your favourite game Tetris in the cinema? No? Well... Tetris’ 30th birthday brings with it the bizarre (yet slightly awesome) news that the classic video game is being made into a movie. The CEO of the company behind the film, Threshold Entertainment Group, told the Wall Street Journal that "this isn't a movie with a bunch of lines running around the p
A Tetris movie, seriously? Hollywood’s brand obsession continues
Here’s the upside of “Tetris: The Movie,” or whatever they’re going to call it: Devoted fan-boys and fan-girls won’t go berserk over character casting or plot reworks, like they do for any Jane Austen or Batman reboot. . . because Tetris doesn’t have any plot or characters! Well, there’s the downside, too. In announcing plans to adapt the geometry-based video game — perhaps the first real addiction of Gen-X and Millenials — Threshold Entertainment brings us latest proof of cr
Tetris Finally, Somehow, Makes It to the Big Screen
No, it's not anime-related, or even Japanese in the slightest, but we caved. After years of fans playfully joking about the possibility, the classic block-stacking video game, Tetris, is getting the live-action treatment. The project is being produced by Threshold Entertainment, the same studio that did the 1995 live-action Mortal Kombat movie and sequel, as well as the Mortal Kombat: Conquest prequel TV series. Threshold Chairman Larry Kasanoff will be producing, with the Te
Someone Is Making A 'Tetris' Movie. No, Really. A 'Tetris' Movie.
There's an old cliche that Hollywood is running out of ideas. That's not entirely accurate. They have a whole vault of ideas. They just seem to be running out of good ideas. How else do you explain movies like Battleship, the RoboCop remake, and anything involving Johnny Depp post-Pirates of Caribbean? One genre that's been consistently bad are remakes of video games. The two just don't belong together. Watching a movie based on a video game is like hanging out with an only c
Reality crumbles as Tetris movie confirmed
Some people say Hollywood is out of ideas. Other people say it's a place of wonders, filled with the kinds of insane geniuses who are planning on bringing us a live action Tetris movie. Yes, you read that right. Tetris,Alexey Pajitnov's famous 1980s puzzle game, released on just about every platform to have graced the hands of man and starring such notable characters as L Brick, T Brick, and everyone's favourite Line Brick, is coming to a cinema near you. As confirmed to the
Videogame Tetris to be made into sci-fi film
The classic videogame Tetris, in which players slot a cascade of tumbling blocks together, is being turned into a science-fiction movie. Tetris has been a mainstay of computer gaming since it was created 30 years ago, but the shape-slotting puzzle may not seem like an obvious subject for a big-screen adaptation. Threshold Entertainment said in a statement that it was partnering with The Tetris Company to develop the film. "Everyone knows that Tetris is one of the best known,
5 other puzzle game movies we‘d like to see besides ‘Tetris’
First, there was the G.I. Joe movie; then, the board game Battleship went big-screen, followed by 2013’s“The Lego Movie” — and now, from the depths of a Hollywood culture that hasn’t met a children’s toy it can’t adapt to the big screen, we’re getting a Tetris movie. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the company behind Tetris is working with Threshold Entertainment, the company that adapted the “Mortal Kombat” game for the big screen in the ’90s, to make a “very b
