If The 'Space Invaders' Movie is Faithful to the Game
As some of you may know, Warner Brothers is in talks to acquire the movie rights to video games' great great grandfather, Space Invaders.
Not wasting any time, producer Mark Gordon has already commissioned a screenplay for the film and, wasting even less time, I stole it. For the first time ever, please enjoy these excerpts from the Space Invaders movie script.
Daniel O'Brien is a semi-professional space invader. He lives in your space.
I feel like this could be a movie to warn people of the dangers of a lack of an education.
ReplyActually, detonating a bomb is how you activate a virus because there is a science.
Replyhow obvious is it that Hero is Soren and Hisfriend is DOB?
ReplyHisfriend needs to protagonize a movie. Seriously, I bet an alien invasion movie where only one guy has any f**king common sense at all would kick ass.
ReplyBunkers not barracks. Barracks are what soldiers live in, bunkers are what they take cover in.
ReplyI could not stop laughing at this! Nice job.
ReplyI like how exactly a year later, there is another article about making games into movies.
ReplyCaptain: What do you need?
ReplyHisFriend: A machine gun and permission to rotate side to side.
That bit made me LOL.
i feel sorry for hisfriend and commander alien.
Replyi swear, hisfriend is me.
Replyhilarious!
ReplyMicheal Cera would be perfect for his Friend
ReplyI immediately started reading HISFRIEND in his voice when I read "somehow? Lasers, I'd imagine. Or, like rocks, rocks would do."
I went back and read the whole thing again in his voice. It made it at least twice as funny.
"no, yeah, bullets, no i know, but still..."
ReplyIt's true, you do have to be careful if there is a science.
ReplyThis was hilarious. Reminded me why you are easily one of my favorite cracked bloggers.
ReplyI just love the way you talk. Lines like "Are we not that?" are just the kind of inherently funny syntax that makes your style. I've been trying to use it in conversation, I think.
"Look like these space invaders are about to have their space invaded.."
Replyis it just me, or did that sound slightly like the Captain is coming onto the aliens..? ;)
*c*mming? Oh, never mind...
hmmm...I imagined him putting on sunglasses and the csi miami theme playing.
LOL !, it was pretty funny, it also make think about independence day xD ...
Replylol "Ahn T'Gonist". Very creative. xD
ReplyFunny, but not as good as some of your others - I prefer it when the "HISFRIEND" type character is you: you tend to come out with funnier dialogue then, but I understand why you didn't do that with this one.
ReplyWhat gets me about doing a Space Invaders film is that they are going to have to write a whole story for it with hardly, if any, background from the game. Why not write that story and just call it something else?
ReplyIt's like doing a film about Pong.
I could actually see someone making a pong movie. And the way I'm imagining it, it would be AWESOME!
