[Brian Damage]

Universal's won the bidding for feature rights to the vintage Atari vidgame "Asteroids" and set up the project with Lorenzo di Bonaventura.
Fox and Sony were also bidders on the project.

Atari launched "Asteroids" in 1979, and the 2D game became one of the most widely known titles as the vidgame biz blossomed in the decade that followed. Studio has assigned Matt Lopez to pen the script. His credits include "Race to Witch Mountain" and "Bedtime Stories."

Di Bonaventura's recent projects include "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," "Imagine That" and the upcoming "G.I. Joe" for Par.

I loved playing the game Ateroids as a kid, as well as Space Invaders. Wonder if they'll ever turn Space Invaders into a movie?? Anyway, I'm not sure how it'll translate on film, but it sounds pretty interesting.
