  • In July 2020, it was reported that a biopic was being made about the making of Tetris, which will delve into the legal battles that took place during the Cold War over ownership of the game, with Jon S. Baird directing and Taron Egerton cast to portray the game publisher Henk Rogers.
  • Taron Egerton stated in a GQ Magazine Interview that the movie is going to be more Social Network than the Lego Movie.
  • Production had to be shut down temporarily after a coronavirus case on set in Glasgow. Taron Egerton tested negative but still self-isolated for weeks.
  • In November, Apple TV+ acquired the film.
  • Filming began in Glasgow in December 2020, including Glasgow Prestwick Airport on the Ayrshire coast.
  • In August 2023, Dan Ackerman, the chief editor of Gizmodo, sued Apple for “illegally copying” his 2016 book The Tetris Effect: The Game That Hypnotized the World. Ackerman is asking the court for monetary damages of $4.8 million, which is 6% of the film’s $80 million production budget.
  • 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. 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. The film premiered on Apple TV+ on March 31, 2023.
