PIXELS TV Spot, Clip, and 2 Featurettes - “Meet the Arcade Heroes”
Sony Pictures has released a new TV spot, clip, and two featurettes for the upcoming film Pixels, which features a horde of classic arcade game characters attacking the world. Even though Adam Sandler doesn’t get a lot of love from fans these days, I still think that this movie is going to be surprisingly good, and one of the more entertaining films of the summer. The clip below features Peter Dinklage asking for his demands, and it's pretty damn funny.
The film comes from director Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone), and also stars Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, Kevin James, and Ashley Benson, which one of the featurettes focus on. The other featurette includes the cast describing what it was like working with their favorite '80s arcade characters while staying true to the gaming experience.
When intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (Kevin James) has to call on his childhood best friend, '80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage & Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Michelle Monaghan plays the team's unique weapons specialist.
The movie will be released on July 24th!
