The '80s arcade comedy action film, Pixels starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage releases the first trailer!
Remember Pacman, Donkey Kong and the Space Invaders? They all make a comeback in this movie, but not as cute game characters but a declaration of war against mankind and attack Earth.
The action-comedy is directed by Chris Columbus from a story by Tim Herlihy and a screenplay by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, based on the original short film of the same name by Patrick Jean.

[Synopsis]
When intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (James) has to call on his childhood best friend, ’80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Dinklage and Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet.
