Asteroids Movie Plot: Brotherly Love and Explosions
by Chris Faylor, Jul 24, 2009 10:15am PDT
In the wake of the baffling announcement that Universal had won a multi-studio bidding war for the rights to adapt Atari's old-school shooter Asteroids into a film, plot details have emerged.
"We've crafted a really strong, deep mythology for the thing," producer Lornezo di Bonaventura told IGN. "It's two lead characters - two brothers - who have to go through a seminal experience to figure out their relationship, against this huge backdrop."
Bonaventura, who also produced G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, added he was "attracted to Asteroids, plain and simple, because I think what it tells you is that there's going to be this big thing in space" and promised that the film will indeed feature "some guys in spaceships blowing stuff up" as a homage to the classic game.

As lame as it sounds, think about it - would anyone have bought or paid any attention to Far Cry 2 if they hadn't used the name? It had nothing to do with the original game and due to its plot would probably have been ignored if it was called Once Upon A Time In Africa or something. Think about all the games you discovered late - like Planescape: Torment or Psychonauts - because they didn't have a name you recognized and you ignored them.

So, already it has nothing to do with the video game. LOL!
