Reel Movie News RSS F... Roland Emmerich to Direct Big Screen Adaptation of Asteroids?

Roland Emmerich is said to
be in talks to direct a film
loosely based on the
classic video game
Asteroids. Atari has
wanted to get its film
version of the game made
for quite some time and
Universal currently owns
the rights to it.
Vulture is reporting that
Emmerich has been
offered the job to direct
the film with a script by
Matt Lopez (Bedtime
Stories, The Sorcerer's
Apprentice).
It sounds like the film will
be based very loosely on
the video game and
according to Vulture will
be more about Aliens
winning the war with
humans after the
destruction of earth.
Not much information yet,
just a whole lot of
hearsay, but we'll keep
you posted as this start to
develop even more.
