While the big draw of Pixels may be seeing computer game characters we grew up with in the 80’s brought to life, lets not forgot the human characters that will be going up against Pac-Man, Donkey Man, Centipede, and many more pixelated sprites from video games past. Three new video vignettes have come our way, taking us behind the scenes and introducing us to three of our heroes, namely Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), Eddie ‘The Fire Blaster’ Plant (Peter Dinklage), and Lady Lisa (Ashley Benson). Check them out below.
Released: 24th July (U.S.)/ 14th August (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: As kids in the 1980s, Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), Will Cooper (Kevin James), Ludlow Lamonsoff (Josh Gad), and Eddie “The Fire Blaster” Plant (Peter Dinklage) saved the world thousands of times – at 25 cents a game in the video arcades. Now, they’re going to have to do it for real. In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens discover video feeds of classic arcade games and misinterpret them as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth, using the video games as the models for their assaults -- and now-U.S. President Cooper must call on his old-school arcade friends to save the world from being destroyed by PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Centipede, and Space Invaders. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens.
