Asteroids plot details

As many by now have heard of the upcoming film version of the seminal arcade game Asteroids is making it’s way to the screen and the folks over at IGN spoke with the producer Lornezo di Bonaventura about the film.  He stated: ”It’s funny because people say there’s nothing in the game, but that’s not entirely right” he explained. “I was attracted to Asteroids, plain and simple, because I think what it tells you is that there’s going to be this big thing in space.”

“We’ve crafted a really strong, deep mythology for the thing. Without divulging too much about it, it’s two lead characters – two brothers – who have to go through a seminal experience to figure out their relationship, against this huge backdrop.” ”Well you’d better have some guys in spaceships blowing stuff up,” he continues, “or else you haven’t honored the fun of Asteroids.”
