After the success of Wreck it Ralph, it perhaps shouldn't come as a great surprise to hear that more films are set to make use of video game characters. Pixels is one such upcoming film from Sony Pictures Entertainment.
If you haven't heard of it, here's a quick summary:
Aliens misinterpret video feeds from arcade games as declarations of war and attack Earth using video games as the blueprint for their attack. It's up to some hardcore old school gaming fans to battle the aliens and save the Earth. So, a lot like the Futurama episode "Anthology of Interest II" then.
It was announced today that several video game characters would make an appearance in the film, including:
• Atari Interactive: (Asteroids, Breakout, Centipede and Missile Command)
• Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. (Frogger)
• BANDAI NAMCO Games Inc. (PAC-MAN, Galaga, and Dig Dug)
• Nintendo (Donkey Kong)
• Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. (Q*bert)
• Taito Corporation (Space Invaders)
• Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (Joust, Defender, Robotron and Wizard of Wor)
