Tetris Is Being Made Into A Movie Trilogy
Burn it down. Burn it all down. The addictive and indescribably frustrating video game, Tetris, is being made into a film franchise, according to an Empire exclusive. Why is a game based on giant shapes falling from the sky being made into THREE FEATURE-LENGTH MOVIES? Because one movie just wouldn’t be enough! “The story we conceived is so big,” filmmaker Larry Kasanoff told Empire of the prospective trilogy. “This isn’t us splitting the last one of our eight movies in two to
