If we could some how be involved in this movie it would bring us millions of clicks. They say that a real plot is still missing, how about getting some influences from Continuum! Someone should contact the filmmakers and offer Continuum as a source of ideas.. Why not

[Dameon Angell]

Continuum: The Persia Paradise Story

Asteroids: The story of Quicksand, the squad that has dissolved more squads than god himself.

[Ephemeral]

Lifetime Channel Movie Of the Week - Drama beyond your wildest expectations.

Narration: This Tuesday on Lifetime: Valerie Bertinelli stars in a Lifetime Original Movie.
Bertinelli: You know, the rules never said that I couldn't disolve the squad.
Staff: Well, you're right. But I'm sorry, you are still banned.
Bertinelli: (cries)
Narration: Valerie Bertinelli in: TW is Terrible And Will Hurt You Because This Is Lifetime

Ass Terrier Roids.

No really uhm, I dunno how it would work, unless someone submitted it to them as something which could inspire them, that would be interesting, though then they'd have to plug it somewhere and advertise to get it noticed.

  Centipede would work. Asteroids might (emphasis on might) work.

  ...Asteroids movie. Seriously? Is it that hard to come up with a somewhat original idea that follows an admittedly formulaic plot? Oh, wait, yeah, Inheritance already sailed on that ship.

  That is such a great idea.... wait no it isn't... Next time we'll hear from it people will bid million dollars on frogger. What is this world coming too. Oh well here's another proof that whatever stupid idea you might have... there's always worst!

  Not sure where you got that idea, but actually there was a full storyline for Asteroids and several related games.

  This is quite depressing, but at the same time it has a kind of insane genius to it. They can write virtually any space-based story they want as long as it involves spacecraft and asteroids in some way. Not only that, they have a "Snakes on a Plane"-esque factor working in their favor. Some people will go just to see how they could possibly work a plot out of something that sounds so spectacularly horrible. I kind of like this.

  Di Bonaventura is a schmuck. Between this and GI JOE and IMAGINE THAT, he's a poor man's Bruckheimer. And that's not saying much.

  I hope the brass at UNI actually reads these comments. These are the people you're trying to sell this movie to. NO ONE WANTS THIS MOVIE. Bad bad bad idea.

  Talk about a film concept being a blank canvas... The Neandertal Creative Heads at Universal can congradulate themselves for winning a bidding war over a WORD! Their misserable failure will further drive up the cost of a ticket at the box office to cover their losses. It is absolutly pathetic that the Big Giant Heads at the top of this studio feel themselves so incapable of coming up with an original concept that will be any more captivating to the public than THIS word from a primative video game! They should just drop the "A". Watch next summer for STEROIDS, The movie!

  Centipede would have been a better choice.

  The only thing that could make this idea better is if they make it the first vector graphics movie.
• 16. THIS IS ICM's FAULT comments:
  July 02, 2009
  basically this sort of dumb sh*t is only happening because ICM and other "talent agencies", scrounging for money, are now "repping" brands and other non-talented entities. you'll notice that at the end it says they represent Atari as well as the writer Lopez, so they are packaging this dumb f•uck of an idea up like they normally do with an actor and a director, except they are instead pairing a vector-based plotless vintage videogame with a writer known for making stuff thats just not horrible enough to not get made. you guys are all so great! keep at it!

  Is this going to be feature length or just a short... can't see the plot (is there one?) of asteroids being deep enough to span ~2 hours..

  The movie asteroids could be like the movie "the last starfighter" where the best asteroids player is recruited by aliens to clean up their *real* asteroid field

  In response to "alizard".... The original arcade game was and is not boring or stupid by *any* standards. Easy to learn, hard to master reflex skill game....just like the majority of golden era games. I can't stand modern PC games, but I'll play Asteroids all day long. And I can...I have an Asteroids UR and an Asteroids Deluxe cocktail table.....among several other games in my collection. As far as attempting to make a movie out of it....retarded.

  I would pay to see a movie based on the Atari game of the movie E.T. and thus help Hollywood crawl out of the hole it is stuck in.

  as a former employee at Atari Coin-Op (we developed the Asteroids coin-operated dedicated video consoles) ... yeah, this is A Bad Idea. By modern standards, the original game would be considered too boring and stupid to be playable as a game.

  The tagline writes itself.... "In a world, where no one can hear your scream, asteroids threathen the very existence of space... one lone spaceship on a collision course with destiny" ... nevermind I give up, I think this is the stupidest idea for a film.

  The ineptitude of the leadership at NBC Universal is of truly epic proportions and seriously needs to be addressed and dealt with accordingly without fear of retaliation or retribution; the only way to accomplish this in our current environment is through truly anonymous public forum. For those who have no idea why this is a bad idea, I will explain, movies based on video games are a current fad in Hollywood, and agreeably certain titles have well written truly epic storylines that rival modern literate. This game is not one of them, in fact any arcade game that dates back before 1982, should never be considered as source material for a major motion picture as there is no story, no character development, or plot to draw from. If the studio wanted to spend money to develop an outer space adventure about blowing up a bunch of rocks, that’s fine but the studio should never have even considered wasting the untold millions that they obviously will have optioned to base a movie upon a game that never had a storyline to begin with. Mr. Kirschenbaum and his higher ups should be called to task for this epic failure of common sense.

  They actually paid money for this? Seriously? And on top of that, there were FOUR studios willing to do so??? Wow ... every time I think I've seen the most stupid thing ever somebody's got to take it up a notch.

  I'm rating the article with 5 stars because it's the most ridiculous announcement from a movie studio ever. Other films from Universal? Paper Clip, the Motion Picture. The Story of Wind. Lather, Rinse, Repeat; Hairy Tales.

  It's a little known fact that the movie 'The Boerne Identity' was actually based on the game Pong.

  What's next Pong? Connect 4? Hopscotch? Maybe they will go old school and start building franchises out of classic toys like Slinky or the Hula-Hoop!

  Whoever is making the decisions to green-light these awful movies should be fired ASAP. Battleship, Candyland, now Asteroids?? Universal's 2011 is shaping up to be the Worst Slate Of All Time.

  Once, long ago it seems, movies were about stories and characters and ideas -- not brands and franchises. It needs to be that way again. This is the corporate studio model at its absolute worst; all of these films can only be disasters, and I wonder if they might not topple the already struggling Paramount.
