In the never-ending quest to find something — anything — that might drive audiences back to movie theaters, Warner Bros. has hit on a particularly desperate idea: A film version of Temple Run, a wildly popular iOS game featuring an explorer who runs over bridges and collects coins. Temple Run's main character doesn't even have a name, and the game's style is nakedly stolen from movies that already exist, like Indiana Jones and Romancing the Stone. Cynical as it sounds, Temple Run is actually the second upcoming movie based on an iPhone game — an animated Angry Birds movie is already slated for a plum summer release date in July 2016. It's easy to dismiss the idea of a movie based on an iPhone game — but the more I've though about it, the more I can see the potential here.
