Today in bad ideas: a Pac-Man movie
Filed under: Deals, Games and Game Movies
We've reported a couple of times about the upcoming, Jet
Li-starring Tekken
movie, as well as the Paul W.S. Anderson-helmed Castlevania
(neither of which our gamer readers seem very optimistic about). The studio behind both of those films is the small
Crystal
Sky Pictures, whose jones for video games movies is now officially out of control: not only did they recently buy
the rights to Pac Man, but they're actually committed to
turning those rights into a "live-action fantasy adventure."Um, excuse me? Did you say "live-action?" How is this going to work, exactly? Are people going to be dressed up in giant foam costumes? And will they chase dots for two hours? Uh huh. While no director is currently attached to this project, I think we all know the man for whom this project is crying out. Say it with me now, friends: Uwe. Boll.

I Don't know which is worse the fact that the Pac-Man movie actually has Writers or the fact there are actually people taking it seriously down below in the comments section of IMDB (Possible lines:“WAKA-WAKA:”)

I'm still waiting for the "PONG" movie to be made. After all, this is the grand daddy of them all. And to watch it on my 52" tv would be the ultimate!!! Then let's go for a "SPACE INVADERS" flick.
