'Donkey Kong' And 'Pac-Man' Attack In Awesome First Trailer For PIXELS
When the Earth is attacked by some of the most iconic video game characters of all-time (Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and Space Invaders are among those featured here), it's up to a group of arcade gamers to save us all. Hit the jump to check out the brilliant first trailer for Pixels...
When intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (Kevin James) has to call on his childhood best friend, '80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage & Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Michelle Monaghan plays the team's unique weapons specialist.
Directed by Chris Columbus, Pixels stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, and Michelle Monaghan, and is set to be released on July 24th. What do you think of the trailer?
