Coming from the Patrick Jean short film, Pixels begs the question we’ve all been asking; what if we sent a time capsule into space, loaded with iconic 1980s video games, only to have aliens misinterpret our message of peace and send giant versions of Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and more to attack the Earth? Well you can take a first look at how the carnage would unfold, thanks to the first official Pixels trailer, now available below.
Starring Adam Sandler (the Grown Ups’ star who’d clearly be the go-to man in times of a crisis) as an ‘80s video game champion, Kevin James (Paul Blart: Mall Cop) as the US President, and Peter Dinklage (Game Of Thrones) as another arcade master, Pixels places the trio in an Independence Day-like scenario, battling a host of nostalgia-inducing villains which may just change your perception of your favourite ‘heroes.’
Co-starring Michelle Monaghan (True Detective), Brian Cox (Braveheart), and Sean bean (last seen in Jupiter Ascending), the Chris Columbus (Home Alone) directed Pixels is due to be released on July 24th in the US, but won’t make its official uK release date until August 12th.
