The 2015 upcoming movie Pixel focuses on the story of the central trio which described by Director Chris Columbus as "three losers." Adam Sandler plays as the TV mechanic (perhaps an allusion to the short where a broken TV releases the 8-bit terrorists). Josh Gad is a conspiracy theorist, and Peter Dinklage is described as "a felon." And never forget the antagonist, Michelle Monaghan as a hi-tech weapons expert.

The Plot

Kristy Puchko of Cinema Blend described the story of Pixels, "where aliens pick up satellite feeds of old school arcade games like Space Invaders and Centipede and mistake them as a declaration of war. Skip to today, where the aliens have reached Earth and use the 8-bit characters and strategies from these very games to attack the planet. What's the President of the United States (Kevin James) to do? Well, apparently call on his old arcade buddies (Sandler, Gad and Dinklage), uniting them to take on the video game-inspired baddies that they regularly defeated as kids".

"Pixels" short film is expected to open on May 15th, 2015.
