An upcoming video game movie that has been on my radar since its announcement in 2011 is the upcoming Happy Madison production of "Pixels" which is slated to invade theaters on July 24, 2015. The Chris Columbus helmed film will star Adam Sandler, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Monaghan, and Ashley Benson.
A brief synopsis of the film (via IMDB) is: "Video game experts are recruited by the military to fight 1980s-era video game characters who have attacked New York." The overall concept for the film itself was spawned by a whimsical 2010 short film which was directed by Frenchman Patrick Jean. Check that out here, and if you are a child of 80s video game culture (like me) you'll be thanking me later because is it tres' cool:
More interestingly (depending on your point of view, of course), there are now leaked set photos of star Ashley Benson ("Spring Breakers") looking very active (and sexy) as bad-ass, video game vixen "Lady Lisa." Take a gander below:
