Short being adapted into a full-length feature

French director Patrick Jean's short animated film Pixel s is to be remade into a feature film.

The action comedy will also star Sandler, who'll play opposite classic videogame characters such as the Space Invaders, Pac-Man and, er, some Tetris blocks.

The original short film begins when a man throws an old television out onto the streets of New York where it comes alive.

A cloud of pixels travels across the city, turning everything it touches into retro videogame-style graphics.

The city is quickly destroyed by the rampaging 8-bitters as they tear through NYC like it's just an arcade background.

Pixels will open on 17 May 2013, meaning it'll face stiff competition from Star Trek 2 .
