They’re Making a Tetris Movie. And It’s a Thriller?

Well, I was not expecting the next video game to be turned into an edgy drama (an 80s Cold War techno-thriller, no less) to be Tetris, but here we are.

Taron Egerton stars in a new Apple Original Film inspired by the true story of how one man risked his life to outsmart the KGB and turn Tetris into a worldwide sensation.

If you’d have told me that this trailer was a Saturday Night Live sketch from 6 years ago, I would have believed you — and as it is, the release date of March 31 gives me pause.¹ But I’ll give it a shot.

1. I don’t actually think this is an April Fools joke — Apple doesn’t usually go in for such nonsense.↩
