"In a far away world where pellets were king..." Oh never mind, just read the announcement already!

According to Variety (http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=festivals&jump=story&id=1061&articleid=VR1117986081&cs=1), unknown film-maker Crystal Sky Pictures (http://www.crystalsky.com/index.htm) inked a $200 million deal on Monday to produce five motion pictures, one of which includes a Pac-Man movie. Crystal Sky previously acquired the movie-rights to Pac-Man from Namco five years ago and will also be making a Castlevania movie.
Upon hearing the news, Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=142174) took the words from my mouth: "There's no word on who's directing the Pac-Man film, or who will star in it, or when it's coming out, or how on earth anyone could think making a Pac-Man film is a good idea..."

The Pac-Man movie was annouced almost 2 years ago.

Hollywood hacks too lazy to come up with an original idea to make a movie out of, milking every Marvel comic and video game series in existence. Takes the least amount of effort yet still makes money.
