Columbus Plans "Pixels" Attack

Heat Vision reports that Chris Columbus is in talks to direct the feature length adaptation of French filmmaker Patrick Jean's 2010 short film "Pixels".

The original short, features 1980s video game characters like Donkey Kong, Tetris, Space Invaders, Frogger and Pac-Man attacking New York City and turning everything they hit into pixels - with the entire planet being pixeled.

The goal is to make film into a Ghostbusters-style action comedy in which characters come out of a video game to wreak havoc in the real world.

Tim Herlihy (Bedtime Stories) worked on the script that was rewritten by Timothy Dowling (Role Models, This Means War)

Adam Sandler, Jack Giarraputo, Benjamin Darras, Johnny Alves and Matias Boucard are producing.
