MGM has teamed up with the interactive video company Eko and they have been working with the HerStory creator Sam Barlow on putting a modern spin on the campy ’80s sci-fi film. The new WarGames is titled #WarGames, and instead of focusing on Cold War paranoia it's being rewired to focus on “modern espionage, hacking and government conspiracy.”

Loved the original. It inspired me and my friends to get into computers pre-internet. You know the scene where he uses his modem to dial into another system? Yeah...let's just say that was pretty accurate if you knew someone who could get you the right number to dial into.......so I have heard.

Will they still have a scene where Matthew Broderick covers his nipples in shame? If so, I'm in.

It'll have a lot more CGI and explosions, and a lot less story and character development and heart.

I always loved the "Mr. Potato Head!" line from War Games.... I've actually used that line myself a few times.... :D
