Tetris trilogy is now casting lead roles for the new movie.
When I was a kid, I used to spend hours on my Gameboy playing Tetris (it was the only game I owned for a long time). Unlike most hand-held games, the game had a very simple mission, sort blocks falling from the sky to create a perfect straight line with horrible techno music playing in the background. I would say Tetris didn’t have a plot, storyline or even a character, so when it was announced that Hollywood was interested in turning Tetris into a movie, I was shocked. And according to Empire, which spoke to the movie’s co-producer Larry Kasanoff, that movie has just turned into a trilogy. Needless to say, I’m speechless.
Kasanoff says they are making a trilogy because the story is “so big” it doesn’t fit into one movie. Which is pretty surprising for a video game that doesn’t even have a story line. “I came up with the idea as I was thinking about Tetris and the theme of creating order out of chaos,” Kasanoff told Empire. “No-one has come remotely close to figuring out what we’re doing.”
The movie, which is a Chinese co-production, will reach audiences around the world, Kasanoff claims, and casting is now underway. Stay tuned for more casting calls, job opportunities and news for the new Tetris movie.
