The Space Invaders movie is apparently still happening
It's been a few years since we last heard anything about the Space Invaders movie that is reportedly in the works, but a new report suggests things are inching forward again. According to Deadline , Ben Zazove and Evan Turner ( The Out-Laws ) are now on board to write the movie for Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema. A movie adaptation of Taito's classic arcade game has been brewing for over a decade now, after Warner Bros. bought the rights to spin it into a film back in 2014. It was reported in 2019 that screenwriter Gregg Russo ( Mortal Kombat 2021) had been tapped to write the script, but it seems some changes have been made in the years since. There's no word yet on a release date or how it'll approach the alien invasion story. Video game adaptations have been having a bit of a moment lately, though, so they may be looking to ride that momentum and actually bring this one to life now. Time will tell.

New Line's ‘Space Invaders' Movie is Back in Business
Next up on the ever-expanding list of video game adaptations? A movie for Space Invaders, apparently. Per Deadline, New Line Cinema is finally making good on its hopes to bring Taito's shoot 'em up to life. First announced back in 2019, the studio and production company Safehouse Pictures have put comedy writers Ben Zazove and Evan Turner on script duties. Individually, they've written or produced for movies like Sherlock Gnomes (Zazove) and Journey to the Center of the Earth (Turner), but as a pair, they wrote the 2023 Netflix film The Outlaws and wrote an action-comedy called Officer Exchange in development with John Cena attached to star. Developer Taito released Space Invaders first hit arcades in 1978, and has gone on to become one of the highest-grossing video games ever. Since its release, it's become a franchise with remasters, remakes, and sequels spread across console generations, PC, and mobile phones. As of 2025, the most recent installment is the iOS and Android title Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve. Space Invaders is the latest retro game Hollywood wants for the silver screen. Also on the docket are films based on Sega's OutRun and Shinobi franchises, and Pac-Man from Bandai Namco. We'll see if Space Invaders gets to the finish line in the next few years, or just shoots and shuffles its way to development hell. Want more io9 news?

Kevin Durant's Decision to Join Warriors Catches Attention on Nine-Year Anniversary
Kevin Durant's Decision to Join Warriors Catches Attention on Nine-Year Anniversary originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kevin Durant's been part of four different NBA teams so far, but let's be honest — there's one move that still gets everyone talking like it happened yesterday. His decision to join the star-studded Golden State Warriors back in 2016 was bold, controversial and depending on who you ask, maybe even a little unfair. Advertisement Yet for KD, it turned out to be the most successful decision of his career. Crazy enough, it's now been nine years since that moment rocked the league — and with the Fourth of July rolling around, fans couldn't help but bring it back up and relive all the debates, drama and championships that came with it. An account on X gave fans a major throwback with an image of Kevin Durant and a caption that said, '9 YEARS AGO TODAY! Kevin Durant took his talents to Golden State. The Warriors won 154 out of 208 games with KD' In reaction to the post, fans who were sent down memory lane had a lot to say. One fan said, "Crazy stat. What a time." Advertisement "there's ppl on this app that weren't old enough to experience how insane this was." said another fan. "The biggest (expletive) move in sports history lol.", said a fan who was clearly not impressed with KD's decision. Another fan added, "It was a hilariously great run." "154 out of 208 is crazy.", pointed out another. Even former NBA player Evan Turner has things to say. "Playing against that team was equivalent to playing a pickup game vs your big cousins. So advanced and Fun to watch but it was still lame and UNGUARDABLE." Advertisement Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30), Suns forward Kevin Durant (35)© John Hefti-Imagn Images Back then, everyone basically accused Golden State of 'cheating' the system by adding an MVP to a team that had already won 73 games. It looked like they'd just stacked the deck and broken the league. He averaged 25.8 points per game, 7.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists in his entire stint with the Warriors. Since then? It's been tougher, more minutes, more pressure, and no deep playoff runs with Brooklyn or Phoenix. It's not a knock on him but just proof that those Warriors years were something special. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 5, 2025, where it first appeared.
