I will repeat that headline for you as I'm sure you didn't believe it the first time: There is going to be a Tetris movie. The Wall Street Journal reports that the Tetris Company is teaming up with Threshold Entertainment to create a live-action film (really?) based off of the classic game.

This is going to be a movie. This. Right here. This game.
Kasanoff is based known for bringing the original Mortal Kombat franchise to the big screen.
The last game to be adopted into a film was, what, Battleship? That movie was terrible but at least it had something that could be made into a film. With Tetris, you literally just have falling shapes clearing out rows of other shapes. That is literally it.
I had to actually check the date that the WSJ posted this to make sure I wasn't looking at an old April Fool's joke. I wasn't. This is real. I just cannot even wrap my mind around this.
