Here's an official Synopsis of the film.




Here's the Pixels Short Film the movie is based on.

I am insanely hesitant about this movie. I LOVED the short it's based on and when I head that a full length movie was going to be made based on the concept I started to worry because Hollywood has a tendency to ruin cool ideas like this.

Then the casting of Adam Sandler and Kevin James were announced and then I started to get my first big signs of a possible disaster. Even worse is that it's coming from Happy Madison Productions and it's being written by a writer of all of Adam Sandler's movies. I REALLY want to be excited and have hope for this movie. Hope the trailer will relieve those worries.

But Chris Columbus is the director though, It should be in good hands.

To me, the director doesn't mean much of anything because the most important thing about a movie is the story and if the story is weak, bad or poorly written then it's going to take a lot to save the movie. This is particularly important when it comes to comedies because a poorly written or executed joke is painful. "Dumb and Dumber To" is a huge recent example of how painful a bad comedy can be. Plus, we are talking about the Happy Madison team so that's already a major red flag.

Dude.

Peter Dinklage with a mullet. How can you not want to see this? :tlol:

Yeah, Hes playing a Billy Mitchell type character.

The trailer is expected to be online at 4:30pm PST 7:30pm EST today, In the meantime, check out these posters.

Here's the Pixels Trailer

Just watched the trailer and while I am still hesitant about the movie I will see definitely see this in theaters out of sheer curiosity. The movie looks good from what little was shown but it was mostly footage of the video game characters which I am totally fine with because I'm more excited about seeing them than the human cast. The trailer didn't really give any sense of the type of humor the movie will have, however. The only real joke that was featured (Tōru Iwatani meeting Pac-Man) was so predictable they really just killed the joke before they could even set it up. Not good. Still it was cool to see especially if that really is Tōru Iwatani playing himself.

Actually that was an actor playing Tōru Iwatani, not the real one.

Hollywood needs to stop giving Adam Sandler movies to be in. Sandler hasn't been in anything good since Happy Gilmore Billy Madison and The Waterboy.

This looks so cool. Can't believe I'm barely finding out about this. I really like Adam Sandler and Kevin James.

People really need to get off the whole "Hollywood will ruin it" and "These actors suck" things. It's the same stupid complaints everywhere.

Hollywood has always been the same. They didn't just suddenly go bad over the time we grew up. That's just dumb. The 80s and 90s were not as perfect as people make them.

I remember reading about this and not being interested at all because of the actors involved but the trailer won me over, this looks like stupid fun.

exactly right

I'll post other GIFs later, Right now I'm going to bed. :)

why is adam sandler remaking 1/3 of a futurama episode and taking everything funny out of it

why is peter dinklage in an adam sandler movie

why

It doesn't feel like an Adam Sandler movie to me.

I gotta admit, I'm really on the fence about this as well. To be honest, the only two things I'm interested in seeing are the digitized Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Everything else just looks like your basic alien invasion type stuff. Now if they were to promote Super Mario, I'd be super psyched.

At the risk of making myself sound bad, I've never really understood what was wrong with Adam Sandler. Sure he's no god of comedy, but he's not terrible either?

...Though honestly I want to see this just for Pac-Man.

This movie/trailer is 80s arcade nostalgia run amuck. I know this movie is going to be a comedy ("stupid funny"), especially with trying to believe the premise of having intelligent alien life (smarter than our own species of course) confuse a video game as a "declaration of war" and on top of that using pixelated 80s characters as weapons against humanity, but it's going to prompt the question in asking, "Is it even dumb/absurd/crazy enough to be enjoyable or a way too desperate attempt of nostalgia pandering?"

13 Video Game references from the Pixels Trailer.

When I saw this I thought of Wreck it Ralph.

I liked that movie...so maybe I'll like this one. :D

His albums are great, his movies are terrible. Mostly because, his albums totally capture the idea of "some things are but-gustingly hilarious, in little 3-minute chunks," and his movies take those little nuggets of "ha ha" and stretch them out into 90-minute abominations that don't just beat the "joke" into the ground, they dig it up and beat it some more.

But yeah, Adam Sandler in general is the poster child for "Only Funny When You're 13 or Stoned". Not gonna lie, though; I still have a few friends who, when you greet them with, "'Eeeey, GOAT!", they know exactly what you're getting at. :lol:

Yeah, I'm with you. I like his movies, including Grown Ups and stuff.

You're not alone and I think it's his last 10 years of work that has given him such a negative rep among the Internet masses.

Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, Bulletproof. Those are all movies I've seen a million times and still enjoy. What the Hell Happened to Me? is also probably one of my favourite comedy albums of all-time.

I don't think he's been very good in a very long time, but he's so inoffensive I guess it's hard for me to care? I think part of the issue he has is that he's saddled with some real heavy and super unfunny baggage at this point. Kevin James is maybe one of the most unfunny actors to get continuous work ever. EVER!

OT - The movie looks neat. The effects at least seem really cool.

Adam Sandler does better when hes given some proper material, Like Hotel Transylvania, He was the voice of Dracula in that, And that animated film was very well received, Hotel Transylvania 2 is coming out this year.

Pixels is directed by Chris Columbus, a director whose has some major cred, for making some great films in the past.

Indeed:

2nd Trailer for Pixels got released today.

1st clip from Pixels has been released.

Here's another clip.

While I am skeptical about this movie because it stars Adam Sandler, I must say I'm very impressed with its marketing. It looks really awesome well-made. I don't know if I'll see it in theatres (unless it gets great reviews) but I'll definitely see it eventually.

Check out the B-Roll Footage from Pixels.

Pixels opens this weekend, And I'm looking forward to it, It has gotten bad reviews from some of the major critics, But who pays attention to reviews anyways?

at least Cinemablend has a good review of the movie.

Ummm I do.

Starring Peter Dinklage in a mullet.

Let that sink in for a moment...

Peter Dinklage. In a MULLET. :teek:

Oscar gold. :tcool:

Whose an homage to Billy Mitchell

The movie is getting terrible reviews as expected.

This is the type of movie where I'll just youtube all the videogame scenes about 6 months from now and skip the rest.
