A Pac-Man movie???
Weirdly, I ended up finding out about this very unusual detail in a Variety story this week in GameSpot.
As it turns out, in the middle of an article from the Cannes Film Festival about Crystal Sky Pictures raising $200 million to invest in five films is this shocking detail:
Other films in the Grosvenor Park-funded slate include an adaptation of Richard Branson's memoir "Losing my Virginity," a bigscreen adaptation of vidgame "Pac-Man," and a sequel to John Woo's actioner "Hard Boiled.
Obviously the idea of making a "Pac Man" at all is exceedingly, well, weird, especially in the year 2008, when the little yellow guy isn't exactly too relevant. Hell, he makes the idea of a "Street Fighter" movie look positively cutting edge.
Crystal Sky is very well financed independent production company that has been involved in everything from the upcoming "Castlevania" film to "Ghost Rider" to "Baby Geniuses."
I'm going to try and get in touch with them and find out what's up with a "Pac-Man" movie, partially for all you guys, but mainly because I'm quite frankly fascinated.

My fav was always Ms.Pac-Man. I think that movie would do better with the female audience. Here's where I go to play a free online version Ms.PacMan Play.
