Warner Bros. in talks to produce Space Invaders movie

According to a recent report from the L.A. Times, Warner Bros. is in talks with Japanese game developer Taito to secure the rights for a film adaptation of Space Invaders. The Times speculates the film would be a big-budget action-blockbuster, helmed by prolific producers of big-budget action-blockbusters, such as Mark Gordon, Jason Blum and Guymon Casady.

In other news, we're planning on doing our own version of Space Invaders pretty soon, only it will be about us, attempting to invade outer space, because we don't want to live on this stupid, terrible planet anymore.

I can't wait to hear the plot.

It's been 20 years... I say we get another 'Spaced Invaders' instead.

More like 32 years

I'm surprised it wasn't photoshop fodder for this post. Could be I'm the only one who saw the movie.

You have to be kidding me.. So the human race is going to be attacked by aliens that only attack in formation slowly and we have to control a giant tank like device that blows them up?
