It's been awhile since we've had an update on the big screen adaptation of the classic Atari arcade game Asteroids. Not much is known about what the plot of the film will be, but in a recent interview with ScreenRant, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura did reveal what the tone of the movie will be, saying,

“It’s not a disaster movie, yeah, if we’re successful at getting it made. It’s much more of a space opera. It’s like a great sci-fi movie if we get it done right. It is not at all what people think it is."

I wasn't sure how they would go about adapting this game into a movie as there's real no plot to the game. Making a space opera is a step in the right direction though, so hopefully they can pull it off.
