Adam Sandler Fights Pac-Man And Donkey Kong In The First Trailer For Pixels
In Pixels, Adam Sandler is joined by Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, and Michelle Monaghan in a battle for Earth against city destroying video games. To answer your question in advance, yes this is a real thing that I did not make up.
Despite knowing about the movie for some time, seeing the trailer for it doesn't make it any less surreal. You can check it out below.
Along with the actors outlined above, the cast also includes Sean Bean (Game of Thrones) and Jane Krakowski (30 Rock) and is directed by Chris Columbus, whose credits include writing The Goonies and directing the first two Harry Potter films, among many others. The movie is also executive produced by Seth Gordon, who directed the Donkey Kong high-score documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.
