Zork Movie to Be Released In All Its Full Text Glory
By Brian Briggs and Francisco Rangel
Hollywood, CA - Lion's Gate Films, which had secretly acquired a few years ago the rights to produce a Zork movie, has announced that it will be released in summer 2009.
The movie is set in a first-person perspective, and will be filmed in full text video, and narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Me too. Even with the low production values of a text-only movie with a voiceover, I still can't see this even breaking even. While geeky movies are making a lot of money these days, the ones that do are the action-driven comic movies, which appeal to a large portion of the general public. This movie would be the definition of 'niche market'.

"I'm glad they are keeping true to the spirit of the game. Had they given it to Uwe Boll, it would have been a nonstop frenzy of exploding grues," commented Dan Pewters, who has been playing Zork for over 17 years.
No one has been playing Zork for over 17 years.
(Also, 1991? Little late to the party on Zork.)
As for actually taking it seriously, it's BBspot. It's clearly a joke.
