Pac-Man is getting a solo live-action movie! According to The Hollywood Reporter, the iconic video game character will be the focus of a new live action flick from Bandai Namco Entertainment and Wayfarer Studios.
First introduced in the U.S. in 1980, Pac-Man became an instant classic. The game is set in mazes where Pac-Man has to eat pellets while being pursued by colorful ghosts as the mazes get progressively more difficult.
The planned live-action movie will stem from an original idea from Chuck Williams of Lightbeam Entertainment. Justin Baldoni, Manu Gargi and Andrew Calof will produce on behalf of Wayfarer Studios, with Tracy Ryerson developing; Chuck, and Tim Kwok will also produce on behalf of Lightbeam.
A version of Pac-Man appeared in the Wreck-It Ralph animated movies. He’s not the only video game character coming to life this year, either.
