The L.A. Timesreports that Warner Bros. wants to bring Space Invaders to the big screen.
Gordon is a film veteran with experience at the big-budget art house ("Saving Private Ryan") as well as the big-budget commercial ("The Day After Tomorrow"). Blum is best known for producing horror breakout "Paranormal Activity," while Casady is a manager-producer with a slew of high-profile clients.
It's not surprising that Warner Bros. would look to jump-start a Space Invaders movie; last summer the studio bought Midway, the video game's U.S. publisher (which does not control theatrical rights), and also is developing a feature of another video game, "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider."
There isn't much to the game of Space Invaders so we hope the screenwriters hvae lots of good ideas. There is also a Missile Command movie on the way. That is another game where writers will have to get creative to make it work on the silver screen.
