Pac Man movie

[William_The_Bloody]

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER covers Crystal Sky's deal with Namco (the game's developer) and distributor Gaga for the feature film rights to PAC-MAN, a classic video game.

Crystal Sky will be developing the project as a live-action fantasy adventure.

What would the plot of a live action Pac-Man film be?

... GODDAMN IT. My jaw has dropped AGAIN. I'm just recovering from the Nicole Kidman thing and now THIS. Dear god, too much weird tonight.

*sigh* It won't be long now until "Frogger: The Musical" opens on Broadway.

If they had to make a movie based on an arcade classic, then why couldn't they have done DigDug? Now, THAT would be a helluva action flick!!! :thumbs-up:

[Herr Matzat]

Sounds great to me. Not joking no.

[Farmer Reil]

Pong: The Motion Picture with special features DVD will own Pac-Man

[Your Mom]

Ghosts will plague a town until a mild mannered human finds the mysterious power pellet and transforms into the amazing PAC MAN! He will then combat them with his unexplained Matrix like Karate. Serious B)

They could of made a Zelda movie instead, with Nintendo agrreing of course,....it is the same genre live-action Fantasy adventure. Now I'd watch that.

[Carnage]

How in the holy FUCK would they make a live-action pacman movie?

[William_The_Bloody]

What i also want to know is if this is a franchise thing, so after Pac-Man: The Movie, will there be Ms Pac-Man? maybe a ghost spin-off.

[zero]

This is just like when they announced Crazy Taxi: The Movie... it'll never get off the ground. Though I could see Michael Clarke Duncan as a convincing Pac-Man.

[thatshortguy]

I always wished for the day that an excellent video game movie would come along again.

And now it's been granted. MK3 AND Pac-Man?!

Be still my Midgety heart =)

[Xand]

So...who'll get the role as Pac-Man?

Kneau? Cage? Cruise? DeVito?

[Guest Hurricane]

I think Adam Sandler would make a good pacman.

*frantically looks for the shifty smiley*

[Colly]

I reckon that shifty smily would make a good Pacman. Maybe thats where its been hiding.

[Media 2.0]

Evidently I'm the only one...but my guess is it would be animated :/. Either that or CGI..most likely the latter. Somewhat like Toy Story or something.

...So live action means Real or something evidently? Oh. I mean, there have been plenty of action cartoons and CGI's...so I just took 'live action' as you know..a suspenseful fantasy adventure.

[Hellfire]

oh god, this could be the worst movie from a game, even passing house of the dead. I dont think i could even force myself to watch it.

[Xand]

Unless 'Pac-Man' is a nickname given to a drug-ring busting cop.

could be. i doubt it, but theres always the possibility.

[Carnage]

I think it would work as a comedy. You know, a guy born "a little different" than the rest of his friends. They are all human and hes all, well, big, round, and yellow and stuff. Comedy Gold!

and he saves the world from ghosts by eating special pellets that make said ghosts edible for him.

Pac-man, yeah right, I'm waiting for the tetris movie to debut, a ten hour flick of betrayal and friendship all created by seeing blocks fall from the sky!
