oby Harold and Tory Tunnell have also come on to produce a movie based on the classic '80s arcade game

Warner Bros. has acquired feature films rights to the classic 1980s arcade game “Space Invaders,” which has recruited some high-profile producers.

Akiva Goldsman, Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell have come on to produce through Weed Road and Safehouse Picutres, respectively.

Matt Schwartz, VP of Weed Road/Safe House, helped track down and secure the rights, while WB exec Jesse Ehrman will oversee the project for the studio.

“Space Invaders” doesn't feature a rich mythology in terms of narrative, as the video game simply featured several rows of aliens (or their ships) firing lasers at the hero, who must take cover behind blocks that slowly disintegrate.

Goldsman recently wrote, directed and produced “Winter's Tale” for Warner Bros. The Oscar-winning writer is represented by WME.

some will mock, but really all they need is the core concept of an 'invasion' and then make up whatever story they want... they did it for battleship, cant see why it wouldnt work here... they're just cashing in on the name anyway.

not that i think its wise, to be honest... yeah its oldschool arcade, but these days, it sounds like the kind of shitty title youd see on a syfy or stv movie... will probably do more harm than good, to be honest Smile
