According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Odd Lot Entertainment’s Gigi Pritzker have optioned the rights from Taito and Midway to produce a feature film based on Space Invaders.

Di Bonaventura is responsible for bringing Transformers and G.I. Joe to the big screen, while Pritzker is a producer who brought us gems like Green Street Hooligans. You know, the one where Frodo Baggins is a soccer hooligan. Her family runs the Hyatt hotel chain.

Apparently, they’re still looking for a writer to work on the project. Pitch, my brothers, pitch!

The group also optioned the rights to Asteroids! several years ago – but like in all things Hollywood, it’ll be a miracle if either of these movies see a day of actual production, let alone them being watchable.
