Atari Asteroids to hit cinemas
05:55 AM Jul 04, 2009
Another arcade game is about to hit the big screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal has secured movie rights to the classic 1979 Atari game Asteroids. Lorenzo di Bonaventura (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) will produce the film, while writer Matthew Lopez (Bedtime Stories, Race to Witch Mountain) has the unenviable task of coming up with a respectable story for an arcade game in which a player controlling a space ship racks up points by shooting asteroids and flying saucers.
