Pixels Short To Be Made Into A Film The much-buzzed-about short featuring 1980s video game characters attacking New York City, is heading for the big-screen. The French filmmaker behind “Pixels,” Patrick Jean, has teamed up with Adam Sandler’s production banner Happy Madison to develop a big-screen take. The team is in talks with Columbia, where Happy Madison has its first-look deal, to set up the project at the studio. The project is still in the early stages and no writer is on board but the plan is to make a “Ghostbusters”-style action comedy in which characters come out of a video game to wreak havoc in the real world. “Pixels,” abetted by a thumbs-up from filmmaker Edgar Wright, became a viral hit in April with its pixelated versions of Tetris, Space Invaders, Frogger, Pac-Man and others invading NYC first, then the world.
