So, the Asteroids are a metaphor for the relationship between two brothers?

The Asteroids remake on the PS1 had a plot.
Sadly the only thing memorable about it are the well made FMVs of rocks in space.

They really didn't need the asteroids licenses did they? It's not like the game asteroids has a copyright on defending the planet against asteroids. They are just doing this to be dicks.......sigh
They'd be better off making a movie based on Pac-man. There's at least some potential for a plot there.
I don't think this is a huge deal. Would you have preferred that they stick to the original Asteroids story, and just have somebody flying around in a triangle shooting asteroids for an hour and a half? I welcome any made up deep mythology they can come up with. It will only probably be bad, whereas the alternative would definitely be bad.
That is, unless you say the alternative is not making the movie at all.

I've got Street Fighter: The Movie - The Game running on demo over on a Sega Saturn less than fifteen feet away from me.
It's awesome.

My hope is that one brother is called "Ast" and the other is called "Eroids". They solve crimes with their comic relief robot while infuriating the hot tempered space commissioner with their crazy antics. The movie posters will have quotes like:
"First they destroyed the dinosaurs - now their surfing high on interstellar cosmic waves - ASTE AND EROIDS are, ASTEROIDS" *metal guitar wails*

Are you guys fucking kidding? I'd KILL to get to make a licensed Asteroids movie! In fact, since they announced this deal I haven't been able to think of a classic game franchise that I'd rather make into a movie if I were in the business of making movies. Just so many directions you could take it and so little existing fiction to constrain you. Plus, there are very few games with a more iconic look to them.
It's just a shame that these tools are going to blow it so badly.

the only text in that game besides the word "Asteroids" is "Insert Coin"

And where the hell is my Missle Command movie? I've been waiting nearly 30 years for the deep mythology to be explained to me; Whose missles are they? Whose commanding them? Why do they move so slowly?
I swear, as soon as we walk into the theater, all we're going to see is a looping video of Rick Astley. This has to be a joke.
We've crafted a really strong, deep mythology for the thing
On the flip side, if this is anything like the Fifth Element, I'll take 15 copies.
