Hollywood has been running out of ideas for years. And when a studio runs out of ideas it buys something they’d like to twist and transform into a movie.

This process is called optioning. and while everyone by now has likely seen the biggest cartoon/action figure franchise movie sequel of the summer Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, and GI-JOE is still around the corner.

Though these two pieces of pop culture nostalgia gone big screen blow-em-up set pieces are not the wackiest ‘options’ of the year, oh no.

In the past week its been announced that a classic computer game is to be adapted. Nothing too odd in this day and age you may say, but its pretty bizarre when you find out this adaptation will be based on Asteroids. An ultra low detail game by todays standards whith little to no discernable plot. I just hope they stay true to the source material.
