Space Invaders Making It's Way To The Big Screen
I guess this really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone with Missile Command set up at Fox and Asteroids at Universal. So it look like Warner Bros. wants to get their hand on the classic game Space Invaders.
It looks like this film will becoming reality very soon, Warner Bros. is in negotiation to acquireTaito, the Japanese company that man the game. Once all those issues are taken care look like they are going to bring in some Hollywood heave weights.Mark Gordon, Jason Blum and Guymon Casady as producers.
Space Invaders was of course the iconic game that helped start it all, a Japanese-created arcade title from 1978 that featured roving attacking ships raining vertical fire on the player's craft, which dodged and fired back. It later vaulted to prominence via the Atari 2600.
There's a bit of a loop-closing thing happening, since the game itself was inspired (loosely) by sci-fi movies like "Star Wars." Still, like most games of the era, Space Invaders features little back story, which is why it's anyone's guess what shape a movie might take.
