That’s right. The little stereopoticon (sp?) toys nobody cared about in decades, are being made into a full-length, non-documentary, motion picture.

Well, it could be worse…they could be making a cartoon series based on Rubik’s Cubes, or something…
Oh sweet lord no…
Absolutely nothing surprises me when it comes to Hollywood. There’s a move based on Monopoly in development with none other than Ridley Scott at the helm.
The mind doth veritably boggle.
Watch soon for Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, Checkers. 
A movie about domination and manipulation of the Property market is not hard to imagine.
But one that’s about a 3D display device? Aside from shooting the film in 3D, I can’t see where it might be going.
Maybe a military prototype/alien artifact/plot device that is a gateway to whatever land you see through it.
Pffft- I always like to think that Cube and Cube II: HyperCube and Cube 0 were based on the Rubik (even if they really weren’t).
Rubik’s Cube totally makes for a great horror film!
I used to enjoy telling people that a Tetris movie was in the works, and seeing if they’d believe me. If they did, I’d elaborate on it, explaining how the story involved an alien race that’s attacking Earth by dropping various types of blocks on it, and it’s up to a special unit of construction and military engineers to save the planet by fitting the blocks together. Some people actually fell for this.

That’s what I was thinking, too. But I suspect that that’s just the pretext, and that these folks haven’t yet gotten the memo that 3D is not, by itself, enough justification for a movie.
Oh sweet Lord yes.
I’m trying to remember where I read it, but I recall somewhere seeing that Hasbro has signed a deal with one of the major motion picture houses to do a series of movies based around ‘nostalgia’ toys. This could be the next shot across the bow for that. I cringe at the idea, myself.
You joke, but that is very close to the “story” the Tetris makers have tacked onto some of the recent games in the series.
I’m probably one of about three people in the world who’s annoyed by this, but the Rubic’s cube in that cartoon intro has obviously had its stickers peeled off and replaced. The configuration it’s in when first shown (before the kid solves it) is impossible from just rotating the faces the normal way, or even from disassembling and re-assembling it.
Or Boggle! 
A Viewmaster movie?
I wonder if it will be in 3D.
