Another video game adaptation being developed...
Variety reports that Universal Pictures and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura have hired a new writer to adapt the classic video Asteroids to a feature adaptation.
They have hired playwright-turned-screenwriter Jez Butterworth. Previous writers that have worked on scripting the movie include Matt Lopez and Evan Spiliotopoulos.
Earlier drafts of the script rumored to be about two estranged brothers who must save Earth from aliens. Which actually sort of sounds like the Battleship movie which bombed at the box office.
