Gamecloud recently interviewed Crystal Sky CEO Steven Paul about his company s penchant for producing video game movies. The company has three in the works right now: Tekken, Castlevania and, wait for it, Pac-Man.
Yeah, I didn t get past that fact either. I ve been obsessing about the concept of a Pac-Man movie since I read that line. I mean, is it going to be some high-dollar, heavy special effect production with people shaped to look like Pac-Man and the ghosts? Or do you think they will go the concept route? You know something like: In a dying world Johnny Pac-Man Namco is humanties only chance. The jaunty-hat wearing young Namco must pilot his yellow ship through a haunted maze of burn-out cities on the hunt for power pellets and bits of tantalizing fruit in hopes of staving off death and making the world once more livable for his young bride.
I shudder, shudder, to think of what this thing is going to get turned in to. It s like that scene in the Monkey s Paw when the dead son returns home and is knocking on the door. The wife wants to open the door, but the father knows that only horror lies on the other side. Horror and a Pac-Man movie.
Shudder.
