A Tetris movie not only exists, but has an $80 million budget and is a trilogy

First off all: yes, there is in fact a Tetris movie in the works. This was actually announced last year, but some of you may have dismissed it as a joke. Well, it’s not a joke. The Tetris film is a real, and it has secured a budget of $80 million dollars. The film, which is supposedly a sci-fi thriller, will be the first part of a larger trilogy of movies. Again, I am not making any of this up.

According to Deadline, the Tetris movie will be co-produced by China and the United States under Threshold Global Studios, which was created by Chinese billionaire Bruno Wu and Mortal Kombat producer Larry Kasanoff. The two men have been working with the Tetris Company for over a year now, and have secured a budget for the film after the formation of their studio. Since this is a joint China-US project, the film will star both Chinese and American actors who will comprise the ensemble cast. The science fiction movie is said to be a global film for a global market.

We don’t have any details about what the actual plot is centered around at this moment, which means we’ll just have to wildly speculate until an official synopsis is released. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a movie about an alien invasion where the extraterrestrials pilot ships that resemble Tetris pieces. Or maybe the aliens are Tetris pieces?

If the producers of this film need any inspiration, then perhaps they should check out this gritty fan-made Tetris movie trailer. This is actually kind of awesome in its own way, and wouldn’t be a bad place to start story-wise (provided the movie is going for a satirical tone, which it probably isn’t).
