“I still see falling blocks in my dreams,” Henk Rogers, portrayed by Taron Egerton, says in the opening moments of Apple TV+’s Tetris trailer.
Apple TV+’s latest original feature will follow the improbable story of entrepreneur Henk Rogers as he seeks to take the iconic video game Tetris, created by Alexey Pajitnov, and bring it to the masses. Unfortunately, there’s just one small problem. Alexey Pajitnov lives in an area controlled by the Soviet Union and is unable to sell it to Rogers and Game Boy. However, the incredible challenges laid in front of him don’t stop Rogers from trying to secure the rights to the game anyway.
Directed by Jon S. Baird and written by Noah Pink, the film will feature Egerton as Rogers and Nikita Efremov as Alexey Pajitnov. The film will feature Toby Jones, Rick Yune, Ben Miles and Roger Allam. Tetris will also be produced by Matthew Vaughn, Gillian Berrie, Claudia Vaughn, Len Blavatnik, and Gregor Cameron.
Tetris is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on March 31, 2023. Check out the trailer below before it arrives online next month.
