Game and movie tie-ins are getting stranger and stranger.
First we had the news that Atari's 1979 game
Asteroids is being made into a film. That's
Asteroids, the one with the vector graphics where the sole goal was to zap asteroids.
Even the game's creator Ed Logg was bemused by that deal.
Now Hollywood intends to make
a film based on Spore with the help of
Ice Age director Chris Wedge. Yes,
Spore - the story-free game where you 'evolve' a primitive sea beastie into an advanced space-exploring species.
Still given the track record of movies based on games that had stories, the absence of one might be an advantage.
