PAC-MAN: The Motion Picture

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

From Sci-Fi Channel's web site...

Pac-Man Going To Movies

Crystal Sky, an international film production and distribution company, will develop the classic 1980s arcade video game Pac-Man into a live-action fantasy adventure movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Crystal Sky has reached a deal with Japanese game developer Namco and distributor Gaga for the film rights to the game, the trade paper reported. No writer or director is on board.

The deal follows on the heels of Crystal Sky's other Namco deal, to develop the video game Tekken into a feature film. That project is being adapted by Mike Werb and Michael Coleary and is also a joint project with Gaga, the trade paper reported.

Crystal Sky is also shepherding three Marvel Comics properties: the Steve Norrington-helmed Ghost Rider; Deathlok, written by Raven Metzner and Stuart Zicherman; and the Hans Rodionoff-adapted Werewolf by Night.



Oh...dear...God. :lol:

I say Brando should get the part.

OH!, a Pac-man movie!!!, it will be good, or no...
I think that a movie like Toy Story without stupids songs will be ok

They gotta stick "Pac-Man Fever" into the movie somewhere then!

[Memona]

Wow! That is amazing! A pac-man movie! Makes a grown man get teary eyed.

What a great great idea.

Next thing will be Mr. Do the Motion Picture, Q*bert the Movie and most importantly: Everquest The Movie, you can't back to your world now.

most importantly: Everquest The Movie, you can't back to your world now.

That would be the anime called .Hack//Sign actually...

[Six Switch]

SHIT!

HAHA,a live action Pac-Man?What the hell are they thinking?Oh well..... :lol:

[Memona]

That would be the anime called .Hack//Sign actually...

Very true. It is alot like Everquest. It even has Sora as a pker. Very interesting anime series. After watching the whole series I can't wait for the new game to come out! All four them.

I heard Wendee Lee was gonna play Mimiru.

[KingCobra]

Sounds pretty lame to me :/

[goatdan]

[syd]

A Pac-man movie just isn't right for some reason... :/

[googlefest1]

this is going to be bad -- sure you can "make up" a story to pack man but there is not much of a story.

first - packman travels around a maze and kills the ghosts

second - there are more pack people and a horny female pac man travels around diferent mazes and kills many ghosts while meeting pacman and making pack jr.

i forgot what pack jr story is


the cartoon was a farse - like this movie will be - not real pack man

and yes no one will go to see the "real" pacman story

[Bluteg]

Maybe it will be based on the Bloodhound Gang's portrayal of Pac-Man.


"Hey you bitches, I'm high on crack. Wanna freebase?"

- Pac-Man

I say Brando should get the part.

Didnt he die?

Edit: googled: yes he did

Movie sounds horrible

[Matt-El]

The bad part about this is the fact that it's...

Live Action


....uh...what? I could imagine an animated one or something, but live action??

OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!?

LMFAO... .BEST CLIP OF THE DAY.... lol

[Damaramu]

Heh, glad you liked it!

I'm really not sure how they're gonna pull this one off. Maybe if it were a 3D film, it could work. But Pac-Man? It would definitely have to be a kid's film. Or they could just give Mr. Seagal a phone call. I'm sure he could use the work.

How about a Space Invaders or Defender movie? Or even better, BERZERK!! Aww yeah. The humanoid must not escape!!! Would kick ass if done right!

[philosophyst]

No writer or director is on board.

That's a big surprise, I thought the top names in Hollywood would be jumping at this "bright idea".
