Seriously?

“Universal has won a four-studio bidding war to pick up the film rights to the classic Atari video game “Asteroids.” Matthew Lopez will write the script for the feature adaptation, which will be produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

As opposed to today’s games, there is no story line or fancy world-building mythology, so the studio would be creating a plot from scratch. Universal, however, is used to that development process, as it’s in the middle of doing just that for several of the Hasbro board game properties it is translating to the big screen, such as [“Monopoly”], “Battleship” and “Candyland.” –Source THH

So, not only did we have FOUR studios bidding over the rights to make an Atari game into a movie, but they are also developing movies for boardgames, too?! Wow, we are really reaching for movie ideas now…

Well, while your here, might as well throw down in a game of good ol’ Asteroids. Play the game up top.
