Director Roland Emmerich has earned the reputation for destroying things, whether it was in Independence Day or the Day After Tomorrow, so its no surprise that Universal Pictures is offering the German filmmaker the reins to turn the 1979 Atari video game Asteroids into a movie, at least that’s what the rumor is going around.
Universal has been developing the feature with a producer from a scrip after purchasing the rights two years ago. The story goes onto say that the movie is being seen as a sequel to films the Independence Day after the earth has been destroyed and the aliens have won with humans living on colonies within an asteroid belt along with aliens who they learn were responsible for Earth’s destruction. Since the movie won’t involve earth being destroyed, they surmise that is won’t go against Emmerich’s recent declaration that he was done making movies in which he destroyed earth. However, there has been nothing confirmed that he will agree to do it, but he does seem like the most obvious director to make the movie due to content and resumed scale, and we are sure we will hear more soon if he digs the script and feels like going back to epic movies filled with destruction following his upcoming drama Anonymous, which has just moved to October 28th. Asteroids will be released by Universal Pictures and is classified as a sci-fi film.

‘Grease’ Actor Jeff Connaway Passed Away at 60
‘Grease’ actor Jeff Conaway died Friday at age 60, RadarOnline.com reports and The Hollywood Reporter confirms. The news comes just a day after reports that the star would be taken off life support.
Radar calls it “the end a long, sad road of addiction that made him one of Hollywood’s cautionary tales.” Conaway, known for his roles as Bobby Wheeler on ‘Taxi’ and T-Bird Kenickie in ‘Grease,’ was a New York native whose brutal battles with substance abuse came to define the latter decades of his fame.
Conaway was checked into an LA hospital on May 11. As of May 26, he was reported to have been experiencing no brain activity. A source told Radar that Conaway’s feeding tube had been removed as of Thursday afternoon and that “Jeff is in no pain whatsoever.”
Conaway shot to stardom in 1978 with his starring role in ‘Grease’ and quickly followed up with a three-year run on hit TV series ‘Taxi.’ Roles dried up in the 1980s as his addictions worsened, but Conaway later found steady work on the sci-fi hit ‘Babylon 5.’
Conaway, who had no children, was married twice — once to Olivia Newton-John’s sister Rona from 1980 to 1985, and again to Kerri Young in 1990 (the time and circumstance of his second divorce remain unclear).
