No, really: Tetris: The Movie
Dale North

Okay, so not really really. But why not? If they can do a series on grown up Street Fighters or make a movie trailer for Minesweeper, then why not Tetris?

Black20 gives us this insane vision of what a Tetris movie would be like with this Tetris - The Movie trailer. If you would've asked me to create a Tetris movie concept, I would have never come up with the piloted tetrominoes concept. Hats off to the creators! I wonder if Alexey Pajitnov has seen this.

From the video post:

This is Mike O'Gorman's concept that I directed and edited. Mike wrote the script and even built large model Tetris blocks that we shot against green screen. I thought we could pull off the special effects if we made them highly stylized. No 3-D animation was used in this piece. Just models, 2-D animation and green screen. We were going for a Tron/Sin City look.

What do you think? Would the Greatest Videogame of All Time become the Greatest Movie of All Time if it was to be made? If you were a tetromino pilot, which shape would you fly?

That was interesting. The melodrama was a bit much. "You'll have to catch me first" ugh.

Anyways, I would fly one of the T shaped pieces.
Cowzilla3's Avatar
I don't understand how it would work. Would you blow up once a line was made or teleport into another piece...This sport makes no sense.
fromagex's Avatar
i vote no on this. no tetris theme anywhere in there. just crap.
Tino's Avatar
I can't grasp this concept.

But well made trailer.
liquidninja's Avatar
That was so cheesy. But I bet it'd get sold out at the boxoffice.
Teta's Avatar
Yeah, that sport is like the best ever.
I would fly thy I shaped tetris block and wait till we are about to loose drop there and win the match.

I like this idea. Planet Puzzle League the movie would be sweet too.

Eh, no real lulz for me. I still prefer Minesweeper.

That was damn entertaining.
I'd totally watch that if it were real.
...then again, I'm a sucker for horribly cheesey movies that I can get a few cheap laughs out of.

That rocked. I didn't really laugh, but it was really fucking cool.

Minesweeper was better, but I can kind of see what they were aiming for with this.

If you haven't seen it check out the pac man movie trailer, search it on youtube.
Its really good

Why is it that these ghetto movie trailers are almost invariably better than the big budget movies they spoof? And why are most of you guys being so negative to this? This was fucking awesome.

@MechaMonkey

They tried way to hard to make it serious.

I think that was kind of the whole point?

I would totally see that movie.

No Srsly, I would

I'd pay to see this if it was real.

I would definitely go see this. It would be the next Super Mario Brothers Movie. Also, I would fly the tall straight piece. Everyone would want me ;)

Epic lulz.

And yes I would see it too. But ONLY if there were some sort of drinking game involved.
Neonie's Avatar
It was well done but it does not really look like it would be a "good" movie.
drogaz1's Avatar
If they made that movie I'd rent it just to laugh at how bad it is. Hopefully it will never happen though.

Somehow this trailer falls flat. It's neither a bunch spooftastic fun nor awesome and action packed.

It just came off as painful.
KorJax's Avatar
The only thing funnier than this trailer is the dumbass D-toiders who actually think this is real.

Do you guys not know what a fucking PARODY is? It's not a real movie, it's just a joke thing made for a class/hobby on the side with almost no budget, just like the Pac-Man trailer.

You guys need to get your head out of your asses. Kthx.
