*insert 'blockbuster' joke here*

Apparently it's going to be a 'sci fi epic'. Three things that must happen:

1. Blocks must fall from the sky, preferably squashing random innocent bystanders.

2. At some point the protagonists must be frantically searching for a line block.

3. This is the opening credits theme. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuNKHJONApI)

I think I heard about this awhile ago! What an odd game to make into a movie. xD

Also Tetris B Theme > Tetris A Theme

How does... i mean battleship worked because it had the whole naval fleet thing going for it but this is just blocks...

[Slothy]

This won't work. Nothing good will come of it. Especially considering the overall body of work of the producer behind this.

[Sephex]

So the same guy who worked on this worked on the movie Food Fight. What's Food Fight? Well, this review explains it all...

Why you posting fake stories Del Murder?

[Colonel Angus]

Unfortunately, this is all too real.

Can't make a legit SMB movie, but they'll make a Tetris movie.

*blinks* Why?

[fat_moogle]

...really?

A Tetris film?

That's ridiculous!

I hope they give it an even more ridiculous name like "Tetris: Rise of the Planet of the Blocks".

I hope it does well enough and gets established enough that they make a video game based off the movie.

This movie sounds like it will be awful. I will be there at the theater day 1 at midnight to see this.

I hope it's in Russian
My favourite tetris related piece of comedy:

This used to be a joke for me whenever someone asked what video game I'd like to see become a movie. I had no idea that Hollywood thought I was serious. Hollywood, I was just joking. This shit makes no sense.

Tetrisnado.

A tornado whirls Tetris blocks around and they fall on unassuming victims in a highly populated area.

Only on Syfy. Imagine greater.

I mean, I can only see this movie being okay if it's made tongue-in-cheek. Like, if it accepts it's a crazy premise and makes fun of itself the entire time, it could be fun. I'm not even sure there'd be any other way to do it.

So now there's an Angry Birds movie, and a Tetris movie.

I wonder what's next. Candy Crush Saga?

This sounds like it will be one of those bad movies I watch with the intent of getting drunk and laughing at the cheesiness but instead get drunk and get sad and/or angry that the movie takes itself seriously.

Shut up.

[Shlup]

Is this April Fools joke too late or too early at this point? Regardless, I'm excited.

[Del Murder]

I'm kind of hoping this is a joke so that I can start working on my own Tetris treatment. Since the announcement I've had random visions of this movie and the pictures in my head are awesome.

Don't forget the Gran Turismo movie by the 50 Shades of Grey director.

I get the feeling someone in Hollywood threw up their hands one day and said, "People always get mad at us for poor adaptions of their favorite video game characters and stories, so let's just make movies of games that has no characters or story to screw up."

And here we are.

But there is no way something like that could ever happen...

I want this film to come from Bollywood with their awesome physics. It would be greatest movie of the century.
