Last Tuesday, Sony pictures released their first trailer for pixels. The film is an adaptation of Patrick Jeans short film (2010) of the same name. The world is under attack by characters from old school video games such as PAC-Man, Donkey Kong and Space invaders sent by an alien aggressor who misunderstood the video games we sent into space in 1982, as a declaration of war......right.
Featuring Adam
Sandler, Peter, Dinklage and Josh Gad. The movie follows them as they use their arcade gaming
skills to save the world from being turned into pixels.
Directed by Chris Columbus whose earlier works include Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire and Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone gives the movie some real potential. Also starring Tōru Iwatani the creator of PAC-Man! Which you do see in trailer getting his arm bitten.
The idea of old school video games destroying the word is solid, and the video effects are amazing.
Pixels will be released May 15th this year, and I look forward to reviewing it with all the good and the bad.
