Peter Dinklage Will Play With "Pixels"

Peter Dinklage ("Game of Thrones," "X-Men Days of Future Past") is in final negotiations to join the feature length adaptation of French filmmaker Patrick Jean's 2010 short film "Pixels" says The Wrap.

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.

Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Josh Gad  also star in the big-budget comedy.

Tim Herlihy (Bedtime Stories) worked on the script that was rewritten by Timothy Dowling (Role Models, This Means War) from which Chris Columbus will direct.

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