Pixels has the potential to be one of the more interesting films of next summer, as anyone who’s seen the short it’s based on can attest. In that 8-bit video characters attack a city, turning it to pixels in the process. Many have wondered whether that same aesthetic will be brought into the film – and from the evident of these posters, it looks like it will.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘In 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 and Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Monaghan plays the team’s unique weapons specialist. The action-comedy is directed by Chris Columbus from a story by Tim Herlihy and a screenplay by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, based on the short film of the same name by Patrick Jean.’
The movie is due out July 24th, 2015, and hopefully we’ll get a trailer soon.
