Not sinceAsteroidshave I seen such a phenomenal premise for a movie.Missile Command. I get chills just saying it aloud. The title works perfectly in 2010, and totally does not sound like it was ripped straight from the ’80s. Not a chance.
And the story? That’s the most brilliant part of all! Since there essentially is none, some slick Hollywood types can swoop in and create their own epic tale of a distant world where only a single man possess the ability to prevent oncoming missiles from obliterating his beloved planet.

It’s so f**king good.
In all seriousness, Atari literally is trying to sell the concept of aMissile Commandfilm to Fox and Peter Chernin’s production company, theLos Angeles Timesreports. In other news, I’m going to convince the world that aBreakoutmovie must be made. Wish me luck!
