Games to Movies: Asteroids and another Resident Evil movie in the works
- July 02, 2009 00:00 AM PST
Hollywood is officially out of ideas as Asteroids, Pac-Man, Joust and another Resident Evil film are all planned to hit the silver screen.
Recently, Hollywood's biggest production companies fought in a brutal bidding war for the privilege to adapt the old-school space-blaster Asteroids into a film. The winner? Universal Studios, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura (G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra) and Jeff Kirschenbaum (Wanted, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) are attached to the product. The script is to be penned by Matthew Lopez, who wrote this years Race to Witch Mountain starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Apparently, Universal isn't stopping with Asteroids in their game-to-movie productions, as such classics as Battleship, Candyland and Monopoly are also in the works.
The Resident Evil movie series will also get one more installment, as director Paul W.S. Anderson (director of the last three films) is busy working on the script, which supposedly will take place in Tokyo and Alaska (Code: Veronica maybe?).
According to ShockTillYouDrop.com, the movie will be titled, Resident Evil: Afterlife and is set for release by September 17, 2010. No word if Milla Jovovich will be reprising her role as Alice.

Wow an Asteroids game, can't wait to see that *sigh*
I am however a tad bit interested in another RE film, although since its the same director, doubt it will be worth the 10.00 ticket price.

I was joking about Pacman, but I just realized that it is really an official movie. How are they going to pull that off?

Resident Evil movies suck ass. Maybe if they made it after the actual game series it would be good. And Milla Jovovich is one of the ugliest girls I have ever seen.
