kottke.orgWell, I was not expecting Tetris to be the next video game to be turned into an edgy drama (an 80s Cold War techno-thriller, no less), but here we are. The trailer looks....good? https://kottke.org/23/02/theyre-making-a-tetris-movie-and-its-a-thriller
Tim Windsor@kottke @dsilverman Also: The Final Countdown in a non-GOB, non-ironic context! We’ve lived this long. :-)
Laukidh@kottke can’t wait for the final battle where they hit us with the Tetris theme.
@kottke oh, lol, that’s how they arranged the trailer
Daveybot@kottke It’s also reminded me of this old gem, which I’d not watched in years:
Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
Tom Hannen@daveybot @kottke it looks closely based on this *fantastic* BBC documentary on Tetris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhwNTo_Yr3k
Tetris - From Russia with Love [subtitles]
@daveybot @kottke This is still the best Tetris treatment (written by @neven years ago): https://mrgan.tumblr.com/post/10009095511/the-movie
Ferdi F. Zebua 🌏@kottke Technically speaking it's not the game itself being made into a thriller, but rather the making of the game... But yeah, intriguing.
Khaled Abou Alfa@kottke looks amazing! Aimed at the fans of the game, which like you and me are old farts and so this will totally appeal :).
Brandon McGraw@kottke this is…awesome
sam@kottke there was a documentary recently about the creator of Tetris and it was FASCINATING.
Nick Dazé@kottke checks out. it looks great.
David Wogan@kottke The Gaming Historian made a nice video on Tetris a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fQtxKmgJC8
