Sony's 'Pixels' Trailer Features Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Adam Sandler and Peter Dinklage
Sony has just released a trailer for its latest sci-fi comedy flick, "Pixels," starring Adam Sandler, Peter Dinklage, Michele Monaghan, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
Comedian Adam Sandler will be starring in an 8-bit science fiction and comedy film, "Pixels" which tells a story about earth being overrun by alien versions of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Sony Pictures has recently released its first trailer for its upcoming Summer 2015 movie showing Sandler and his co-stars defending earth from an invasion of classic 1980s arcade characters.
Sandler plays a former eighties video game champion who teams up with his old gaming nemesis, "Game of Thrones'" Peter Dinklage, "Mission Impossible" actress Michelle Monaghan as a military weapons developer specialist, and the voice of "Frozen" snowman Olaf, Josh Gad as a conspiracy theory-obsessed genius to save the world from giant pixilated 1980s video game characters sent by aliens to destroy earth.

The film shows how NASA launched a time capsule into space containing images and footage of life and culture on Earth, hoping to establish peaceful contact with any extraterrestrial life. Unfortunately, the aliens the capsule reaches misinterpret the message and attack earth using game models it copied from the capsule, including giant pixilated versions of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
Sandler and his team are tasked with defeating the video game characters using technology originally used in the games.
"Pixels" also stars Kevin James as the US President, Brian Cox as an admiral, Sean Bean as a general, and Ashley Benson as a character from the 1980s game Dojo Quest.
Chris Columbus directed the film for Columbia Pictures and Sandler's Happy Madison Production, and it is scheduled for release in theaters in July 24.
