About Tetris Movie:
Tetris is a biographical thriller film based on true events around the race to license and patent the video game Tetris from Russia in the late 1980s during the Cold War.
It was directed by Jon S. Baird and written by Noah Pink. The film stars Taron Egerton, Nikita Efremov, Sofia Lebedeva, and Anthony Boyle.
The development of Tetris began in July 2020. In November 2020, Apple TV+ acquired the film.
Filming began in Glasgow in December 2020, including at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. In February 2021, filming took place in Aberdeen at locations including the University of Aberdeen’s Zoology Building. Filming took place for 7 days in and around the former (RAF) military base at Balado in Perth & Kinross. Production wrapped in early March 2021.
Filming for Tetris originally planned for Moscow was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, prompting the production to relocate to various locations in Scotland, including Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Glasgow, and Aberdeen.
The production was supported by £500,000 from Screen Scotland’s production growth fund.
Filming began in Glasgow in December 2020, including Glasgow Prestwick Airport on the Ayrshire coast. In February 2021, filming took place in Aberdeen at locations including the University of Aberdeen’s Zoology Building, which was used as the headquarters of Soviet firm ELORG, and Seamount Court which was used for several scenes.
Filming took place for 7 days in and around the former (RAF) military base at Balado in Perth & Kinross; particularly internal scenes for a quasi-military backdrop. Production then returned to Glasgow for a few days before wrapping in early March 2021.
Tetris premiered at the SXSW Film Festival on March 15, 2023, and was released on March 31 by Apple TV+. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was praised by Pajitnov and Rogers.
Tetris Movie Storyline:
An enterprising game developer risks everything in a race to outmaneuver duplicitous insiders to negotiate a deal with Soviet Union bureaucrats for the international licensing rights to what would eventually become one of the most recognizable and widely played games in history.
