Classic video game Pac-Man is getting a live-action movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the retro arcade classic is heading to the big screen with a live-action adaptation.
Although video game movies don’t have the best reputation, this one is coming with quite a pedigree – produced by original game creators Bandai Namco Entertainment with a script based on an idea from none other than Sonic the Hedgehog producer, Chuck Williams.
A coin-op classic, Pac-Man was a pivotal title during the rise of video games in the 1980s. Released in 1980, it soon became an arcade staple and was followed by Ms. Pac-Man as well as the inimitable Pac-Land in 1984.
How Pac-Man will work in live-action remains to be seen, but it’s not the first time we’ve seen the classic video game character on the big screen.
Pac-Man recently appeared in the video game movie, Pixels, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Josh Gad, and Peter Dinklage. Several Pac-Man characters also made predictable cameos in Wreck-It Ralph and its sequel.
