Universal has bought the movie rights to the arcade game Asteroids, according to The Hollywood Reporter--and apparently it's not a joke. In fact, four separate studios entered into a bidding war before Universal won out in the end.
The feature adaptation will feature a script by Matthew Lopez, and will be produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, according to the article.
The 1979 arcade game featured black and white, ultra-sharp vector graphics. It pitted a lone spaceship against increasingly difficult levels filled with huge rocks and aggressive UFOs both large and small. Reports are that the two-hour music score for the movie will consist entirely of two notes. (Image credit: Flickr/mr_skullhead)

I...I'm having a really hard time coming up with what the plot of this movie might be. I mean, the GAME didn't have a plot - what on Earth could the movie be about?
