Warner Bros. hopes to join Universal—which has begun work on a Missile Command film—and Fox—which is developing an Asteroids movie—in exploiting nostalgia for the quarters-and-joysticks era of simple graphics and simpler stories in video games, the LA Times reports, by seeking the rights from Japanese creators Taito to launch a Space Invaders film franchise (not to be confused with this). Warner Bros. already owns the game’s U.S. rights through last year’s purchase of Midway Games.
