After months of whispers and rumors, the movie tentatively titled THE TETRIS MASTERS Ecstasy of Order is ready to shine.
Dain contacted Robin Mihara shortly after the e-zine article on the movie came out, daring Robin to persuade him to become an Executive producer.
It didn't take much coaxing, and shortly after Nathan Graybeal (and his lovely wife) signed on as well.
In truth, within 48 hours of the article coming out, 90%+ of the shares were spoken for.
Trailer for tournament and documentary:
Here is a small glimpse of the good fortune that has transpired since the article:
- Alexey Pajitnov (Inventor of Tetris) and Henk Rogers (CEO of Tetris) will most likely be speaking with us, via webcam from Moscow during the event (broadcasted on the big screen) or in some shape or form.
- Thor Aackerlund (Thor) will be driving from his home in Texas to meet Robin after 20 years and possibly compete (we hope!)
- Patrick B (Pat the NES Punk) will be co-hosting the Tournament.
- Vince Clemente (UncleTusk) has been brought on as our Event Director for the tournament and a Producer of the film.
- Chris Tang (vicviper573) top competitive gamer, designer, Mr. everything is going to join the cast and advise on tournament structure
-Josh Byerly (qixmaster) is coming on the road trip to help where he can, and be ready to throw the hammer down when needed
On July 28th, Robin, Josh, Adam and the Director of Photography Dan (flown in from Chicago) will all hop in a van for the road trip part of the film.
San Fransisco, Las Vegas and L.A. are all stops along the way.
We will meet with our Producers in Las Vegas while attending CGE.
Then we will travel to Los Angeles and stay in a beach house in Laguna Beach.
The movie that started as a simple idea between Adam and Robin has taken a life of it's own.
Nearly everything that has been thought up and has come to fruition.
Wish us luck during our final few weeks of shooting, and follow us on NintendoAge.com to see what the newest happenings are.
