The TETRIS Film Trilogy Is Being Planned as a Big Sci-Fi Epic
I don’t know how Tetris is going to be the epic sci-fi film that the studio hopes it will be, but producer Larry Kasanoff says that they have a plan. The producer confirms that the trilogy is really being planned and that the reason it will be a trilogy is because the story they came up with is so big. When asked by Empire if Tetris was really getting a trilogy Kasanoff said:
"That’s correct and purely because the story we conceived is so big. This isn’t us splitting the last one of our eight movies in two to wring blood out of the stone. It’s just a big story."
Kasanoff has produced some high-profile films in his day, which include True Lies, Mortal Kombat, Strange Days, and Beowulf. It will be interesting to see what kind of creative team he brings together for the Tetris movie, but one thing he wants to point out is that the film won’t just involve weirdly shaped blocks battling each other. He explains:
"We’re not going to have blocks with feet running around the movie, but it’s great that people think so. It sets the bar rather low! We want the story to be a surprise, but it’s a big science-fiction movie. I came up with the idea as I was thinking about Tetris and the theme of creating order out of chaos. I guarantee you it’s not what you think. No-one has come remotely close to figuring out what we’re doing."
Well, I’m glad they have a game plan, and I’m curious to see what they have come up with that makes their Tetris story such a sweeping three movie epic. I’m still not excited for the movie, though. They’ll probably make the first film, it will tank at the box office, and we will never see another attempt to make a Tetris movie again.
Wouldn't it be crazy, though, if this did turn out to be an awesome and successful film?
