Sony and Adam Sandler‘s Happy Madison Productions are developing a movie based on Patrick Jean‘s video-game themed sci-fi invasion video Pixels. Video is below.
The story is simple: 8 bit icons from 1980’s videogames are attacking New York! It’s kind of what you’re hoping for as a struggling filmmaker. You make a short film. You’re passionate about it. You think it’s brilliant and maybe even unique. Then you post it on-line. It goes viral and gets millions of hits in the first few days. Suddenly Adam Sandler is calling. The big boys are interested. Next thing you know, filmmaker Patrick Jean has a studio deal. Kudos sir.
