Tetris Movie To Jump-Start Planned Trilogy

Tentatively pegged for the near future upon being announced, it seems Threshold Entertainment’s long-rumored and indeed live-action Tetris movie is finally beginning to pick up some steam, after securing a lucrative co-financing deal between the US and China to the tune of $80 million.


That deal arrives in the form of Threshold Global Studios, a new banner formed by Chinese business mogul Bruno Wu and producer Larry Kasanoff that will see Tetris: The Movie enter production in China at some point in 2017. No further details or story elements were revealed at this time.


Pitched as an epic, sci-fi thriller,Threshold is reportedly aiming to draft in a Western and Chinese ensemble cast as it looks to open up its big-screen rendition of the iconic ’80s video game to a global audience.

An official statement from Threshold reads: “The team has been working with The Tetris Company for over a year, and with the formation of Threshold Global Studios, financing has been secured, the story has been created, and now Wu and Kasanoff will co-produce.”
