Sony has powered up the teaser trailer for the sci-fi comedy Pixels [PIXEL] adapted from a Patrick Jean short film. Adam Sandler [ASAND] takes on Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and other arcade icons from the 1980s.
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 and Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.
Pixels lands in theates on July 24th.
