Missile Command sets sights on big screen

Did they release the april fools page to early?

I forgot to add the [*Sarcasm*]

Fantastic news! I really cant wait for this, and only hope its true, as we have yet to witness a movie based solely on the premise of a city coming under attack by an incoming missle threat, that can only be thwarted by the use of some well placed Missile command posts. How inspiring........

Hilarious.

*facepalm*

This has fail written all over it.

i cant wait for this movie. i really love gaming movies!!! specialy the really old games :roll:

After seeing the Street Fighter (It's okay only if you forget it's based on a game. [FYI, I'm talking about the Van Damme/Julia version.]) and Super Mario Bros. (How did Nintendo ever green-light that!?) movies, let's just say I won't be first in line to see many more game-based movies (if any).

dear god... *epic facepalm* really? REALLY?! there's no story at all and they STILL need it for ideas..

Hey... it can't be worse than the movie Convoy, can it? Yeah, I guess it can.

The next game turned into movie should be Centipede.

it's been said before. Hollywood is run by idiots

This sounds about as interesting as the Battleship movie. :/

I don't even.

Someone mentioned this as worst idea ever. Maybe you didn't hear that they are making a movie based of Battleship game.

The game is awesome..just wish I had a roller ball on my arcade controller. :(

It sounds silly, but it's actually pretty easy to work with a game that has no real plot and based on a real-world scenario. If video game movies didn't have a spotty record, I'd have some faith in this.

Good thing is they can't screw up the storyline, all you need is some missiles and a way to stop them. Didn't Flash Gordon already see a remake a couple of years ago?

And this is why I hate Hollywood...... they allow such travesties as Super Mario Bros, Double Dragon, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat Annihilation and now this...... What's next after these plans? Tetris the movie??

Missile Command is my personal pick for the Best Atari 2600 game ever.

This is just a ploy to get publicity for the movie from gamers. There's no way you could make anything that would hold anyone's interest for more than a few minutes with the content in this game.

Space invaders would be better...

WHAT!!!!!!

Dear Twentieth Century Fox, Look for movie ideas elsewhere. Sincerely, Gamers Everywhere

ehh....I do enjoy bad sci-fi movies so it might just be enjoyable, it'll be a box-office bust for sure though.

Uh?

Worst idea ever.....lol

Complete and total lack of material...what a stupid premise for a movie.

Used to love this game when I was a kid.However...I really don't find a movie adaption to this game,in this day and age,as something anyone would really care about.
