Asteroids gets a new screenwriter
Scooped on Saturday, November 17, 2012
Universal has hired screenwriter Jez Butterworth to write a new draft for their gestating video game picture Asteroids. Butterworth wrote the script for Fair Game, the Doug Liman-directed movie about the outing of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA operative during President Bush's tenure in the White House, as well as The Last Legion.
There might be new interest within Universal to get a move on and push the Asteroids movie concept into a more definitive shape. Disney is reaping rich box office results from their CG cartoon Wreck-It Ralph which relies on retro arcade game characters and nolstagia.
