Atari game film adaptations in development

Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films will partner with Atari to produce and finance two features based on the classic games “Centipede” and “Missile Command”.

Randall Emmett and George Furla will produce, and Atari, Stephen Belafonte, Wayne Marc Godfrey and Robert Jones will exec produce the projects.

Both of the shooter games launched in 1980 during what was considered a golden age of video arcade games. In Centipede, players battled against a pestilence fusillade that included the title critters, spiders, scorpions and fleas. In Missile Command, players had to protect six California cities from a barrage of ballistic missiles. – via Deadline.
