'Tetris' Movie Will Be a 'Big' Sci-Fi Trilogy, Somehow

Ah, to recall the simpler times, like May 17, when the possibly ill-advised Tetris movie was announced. One movie we could survive, easily. There were rumblings that the flick would have a hearty $80 million budget and be the first of a trilogy, but we stayed strong and hoped for smarter minds to prevail.

No, though. No. The Tetris movie trilogy is heading for Earth, "purely because the story we conceived is so big," producer Larry Kasanoff, whose credits include True Lies and the Mortal Kombat film and TV adaptations, explains to Empire. "This isn't us splitting the last one of our eight movies in two to wring blood out of the stone. It's just a big story."
