With Apple TV+'s Tetris, movies about video games, from Farmville's origins to the 16-bit console wars of the 1990s, could be the next big thing.
After more than a decade of unprecedented dominance over Hollywood, the reign of superhero comic book adaptations may finally be coming to an end. The once-bulletproof Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen its first box office disappointment in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and returning Disney CEO Bob Iger has pumped the brakes on the nonstop parade of forgettable streaming shows.
Related Videos Has the video game movie curse lifted? With the massive success of HBO’s The Last of Us and the marketing blitz around the upcoming animated The Super Mario Bros. Movie, it’s clear that there’s no longer a stigma against video game adaptations on film and television. Last year’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 grossed over $400 million worldwide. Even if they’re rarely critical darlings, they’re no longer inherently risky at the box office.
Video games feature no such genre monopoly, and popular games run the gamut from fantasy epics to military shooters to cozy small-town misadventures. A Call of Duty movie would bear no resemblance to an Animal Crossing movie, and either stands a fair chance of getting made.
A movie about Tetris, but not based on Tetris Tetris, the new feature from Apple Original Films and director Jon S. Baird, is the story of one of the most popular and enduring video games of all time, but it isn’t a video game adaptation. Instead, it’s part of another trending genre in Hollywood: the business biopic. These are films or miniseries that dive into the lives of famous entrepreneurs and, by extension, famous products.
