BATTLESHIP - THE MOVIE? WHAT TOOK SO LONG?

Forget BATTLESHIP - THE MOVIE, or for that matter any of THE TRANSFORMERS films.  I drew this "movie poster" for the first Hollywood feature film based on a simple, non-story game back in the video arcade game's hey-dey.  All the proof you need is that the star of the picture was to be the then go-to action star, Harrison Ford. 

Ah, what a laugh we had at the Minnesota Daily, at the totally and utterly preposerous idea of launching a Hollywood feature based on a simple two (or, to be fair in BATTLESHIP's case, three) dimensional game.   Could anything be more absurd?  Answer number one: Equally as preposterous is that such a movie would cost over two hundred million dollars to make (BS) and answer number two: Be on the lookout for CHUTES AND LADDERS at a multiplex near you -- in 3D no doubt.
