Some people say that the film industry is running out of original ideas.
Those people could well be right as news reaches us that classic video game Tetris is being turned into a live action film.
And not just one movie but a trilogy. Because watching the dramatic arc of coloured blocks falling at varying speeds down the screen needs three films not just one.
According to Deadline, the project has a $80 million budget and is being touted as a sci-fi thriller.
Tetris: The Movie will be a China and US co-production under Threshold Global Studios.
Fans reacted (quite rightly) with dismay at the news.
