Battleship. Monopoly. CandyLand. Ouija. Clue. Is there any game Hollywood hasn’t lined up for the movie treatment?

Hearing this week that CAA has snapped up ‘Rubik’s Cube’ - yes, Rubik’s Cube - as a client. Nice pay day for the Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture, Ernő Rubik, who invented it. Why the interest in managing a multi-colored block of plastic? Well, it’s the next big movie star…. or so President Richard Lovett believes.

The agency packagers are talking with various studios and producers about structuring a film around the brain-teasing contraption. one suggestion is a film revolving around some sort of Rubik’s Cube competition, but personally, I’d much rather see a film where a desperate Hollywood exec is sucked inside one and has to, from the inside out, match the correct colors to one another.

Considering CAA represent George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep and Brad Pitt, among others, should we expect it to be a star-studded affair?

The Cube has featured in quite a few Hollywood movies already, including Dude, Where’s My Car?, but has never been the star - so to speak.

I wish they would go for a story of like having a horrific ghost kill the person who would play with the cube and not be able to solve it.

That would actually be cool. But this is Hollywood after all.

Ok, then how about getting Brad Pitt to sleep with the girl who solves the cube and shooting the loser (meaning the one who can't solve it) with a bazooka?

You just want to see Brad Pitt half-naked

I'm actually hoping for a full frontal.

You can always ask the same for the women included in their list.

How 'bout the people who don't care about solving it? booooring!

Then don't see the movie. Wow, that was tough.

I hate Rubik's cubes.. only one I ever solved is when I had to swap three or four of the stickers.

lol

have you seen the movie cube? not really about the rubik's cube but kinda like a saw flick where people are trapped in a big cube! Pretty gory one too!

Yep, seen them. You may want to know that(IMDb)there were errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Leaven claims that the problem of finding factors or primes is astronomical. This is ridiculous. It is very easy to determine if a 3-digit number is prime. The largest factor you have to check is 31, and 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11 are all very easy to check, leaving only 6 factors to check. In addition, powers of primes for 3-digit numbers are MUCH easier to check: there are only 11 primes that have squares, only 4 that have cubes, and higher than this there are only powers of 2 and 3, and those are trivial. In short, the calculations should be simple. Not astronomical. Kazan is supposed to be a math genius, something that the plot hinges on, but he makes several mistakes when calculating the number of prime factors to find out whether a room is trapped or not. He says that 462 has three prime factors, when it has four, that 206 has four when it only has two and that 563 has two and 911 has three when both are actually prime numbers.

i wouldnt spend a friggin penny on that storyline!!


i could care less if at all!
