With Hollywood’s hunger for video game adaptations still seemingly insatiable, it’s now Bandai Namco’s turn to get in on the action, shunting Pac-Man – arguing gaming’s most iconic mascot – onto the the big screen in a live-action movie adaptation.
Hopefully, the fact Pac-Man is basically a big yellow circle will limit the chances of his movie design going drastically wrong.
Presumably this latest journey to the big screen is part of Bandai Namco previously announced push to form a £96m interconnected “IP metaverse”.
That’s according to the Hollywood Reporter, which says Bandai Namco is teaming up with Wayfarer Studios (the company behind Disney+ biopic Clouds) to bring Pac-Man to cinemas.
