It was announced yesterday that FOX is going to make a movie based on the Atari classic, Missile Command. This isn't simply a case of a movie studio calling "DIBS!" on a property; they've gone and hired writers for the thing.This is just another instance of Hollywood buying a name and not an idea. You can't make a movie based on Missile Command. Nobody wants to watch two hours of missiles being shot at six buildings while a little cursor tries to blast the missiles from the sky. No matter how cool the CGI might be.
What's next? Super Breakout: The Motion Picture?
