Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura gave an update regarding the live-action Asteroids movie adaptation that was announced a few years back:
“It’s not a disaster movie, yeah, if we’re successful at getting it made. It’s much more of a space opera. It’s like a great sci-fi movie if we get it done right. It is not at all what people think it is. People think, ‘Oh, the asteroid’s gonna hit the earth,’ and I have no interest in doing that. That’s been done exceedingly well before. No, this takes place in an asteroid belt, the whole movie.”Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura
