Despite the fact that video game-inspired films have not yetattained either critical or financial success, the film industry stillbelieves in them enough to invest some serious cash in upcominggame-based projects. Producer Steven Paul, who has brought movie audiences recent gems such as Ghost Rider and Bratz, announced that his production company, Crystal Sky Pictures, has managed to bring in $200 million to help fund five films. These include Castlevania, an unnamed sequel to Hard Boiled (which inspired John Woo's Stranglehold), and a celluloid version of Pac-Man.
Despite Pac-Man's rich history in both video games and television,this movie is going to be a complete re-imagining of the franchise. Aninsider has leaked the the plot outline of film to us: P'ak, a powerfulwarrior from a different reality, is banished to our version of Earthby a traitorous general bent on usurping the throne of P'ak's world.
Stuck on our planet, P'ak ends up befriending quantum physicist Ernestand his young daughter, as well as developing a romantic entanglementwith tribal tattoo artist Pepper. The three eventually help our heroreturn home, where he ends up saving the day and then bringing Pepperacross the dimensional barrier to live happily ever after with him.Apparently, the P'ak is going to be a ripped guy for most of the movie,but his ceremonial armor will be a a close approximation to the roundbody we know from the video games; "it'll look kind of like thosealiens from the beginning of The Fifth Element."
Wait... no, sorry, that wasn't an insider leak; that was just aflashback I had to a bad acid trip. Tell you what, go ahead and postyour ideal plot in the comments. The best suggestion will be treated asthe official story for the movie until we receive a press releasetelling us how wrong we all are.
