Pong! the Movie was released in early 2005 with Marlon Brando and Robert Downey Jr., which followed the plot of the original Atari video game Pong!. Although this film followed suit with the wildly popular video game genre, such as The Super Mario Brothers movie and Resident Evil, it did not play out as well in the box offices. A new remake is in the works, slated for release in 2011.
