Dig Dug: The movie

Posted by Chris Spags on September 29th, 2009 at 11:47 am

There’s clearly money to be made off of video games being turned to movies, but the well is starting to run dry with classic games. Fortunately, there’s this fake trailer for a screen adaptation of Dig Dug which, sadly, is better than most video game or comic adaptations coming out this year.

I’ve always believed they should give Super Mario Bros another shot as a movie. Just make it some sort of Donnie Darko-ish “What the hell is going on” movie and just have an Italian guy in overalls jumping on live turtles for 90 minutes while a chick dressed like Princess Peach writhes in the background with strobe lights going off as a guy in a cheap Bowser Halloween costume from Spencer Gifts menacingly taps a baseball bat on his hands. Couldn’t be worse than GI Joe.
