It's been a few years since we last heard anything about the Space Invaders
movie that is reportedly in the works, but a new report suggests things are
inching forward again. According to Deadline, Ben Zazove and Evan Turner (The
Out-Laws) are now on board to write the movie for Warner Bros.' New Line
Cinema.

A movie adaptation of Taito's classic arcade game has been brewing for over a
decade now, after Warner Bros. bought the rights to spin it into a film back
in 2014. It was reported in 2019 that screenwriter Gregg Russo (Mortal Kombat
2021) had been tapped to write the script, but it seems some changes have
been made in the years since. There's no word yet on a release date or how
it'll approach the alien invasion story. Video game adaptations have been
having a bit of a moment lately, though, so they may be looking to ride that
momentum and actually bring this one to life now. Time will tell.
