I would imagine since its debut in 1974, Ernő Rubiks Magic Cube has sent its fair share of suitors away in a burst of frustration. Fast-forward almost forty years later and the Rubiks Cube is now poised to piss off a brand new audience moviegoers. According to Whats Playing, Creative Artists Agency (or CAA) has acquired the film rights to the popular stress release and is currently shopping the property to various producers/studios. Given that someone is willing to develop a script, CAA claims that one of their better-known clients (George Clooney? Meryl Streep?) would be interested in starring in the film.
Of course, its no secret that Hollywood loves churning out branded remakes with hopes they will strike a nostalgic chord with audiences. Examples of this can be easily provided via Peter Bergs Battleship and Ouija (who could forget innocent nights spent summoning dark spirits of the underworld?) both looking at 2012 releases. That said, if studios are interested in sparking my memory of the puzzle cube, Im going to have to propose the script have something to do with people attempting to solve it for approximately 15-20 seconds before either A) quitting so as to play Super Nintendo or B) trying to find new and inventive ways to break the damn thing for being such a pompous *******. Ah, those were the days.
