Even Pong is getting a live-action adaptation as Atari and Universal Pictures sign deal to make 10 movies based on some weird classic games

As the video game adaptation phenomenon grows, Atari and Universal are teaming up to bring 10 (yes, 10) movies based on classic games to life. Per Deadline, a movie based on Atari IP is already in the works, with a screenplay penned by Jungle Cruise and Hellboy writers Matt Reilly and Carl Hampe. We don't know which Atari game is first up, but we do know that the list includes: Asteroids, Adventure, Berzerk, Breakout, Centipede, Crystal Castles, Millipede, Missile Command, Pong, and Yars’ Revenge. "We are excited to work with Universal and Entertainment 360 to bring the spirit of our iconic brand and games to a new medium."
