Hollywood officially out of ideas, options movie rights for 'Space Invaders'

Lorenzo di Bonaventura and
Gigi Pritzker, two producers who, collectively, are responsible for both
The Wedding Planner and all three
Transformers films, have secured the rights to produce a movie based on Taito's classic
Space Invaders. When asked
why movie rights for
Space Invaders would even exist, the entire human population of Earth crumbled into exasperated, bewildered piles of dust.
We first caught wind of a potential
Space Invaders adaptation in
a report by the L.A. Times last year, however it's unclear whether or not di Bonaventura's
Space Invaders and Warner Bros.'s
Space Invaders are one-in-the-same.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter, the pair have begun the process of finding a writer to pen the script, which we can only assume will have very little to do with space/invaders, and everything to do with Shia LaBeouf.
