In 2002 Crystal Sky Entertainment teamed up with a Japanese distribution company and bought the movie rights to Pac Man. News of a live-action adaptation of the game captivated fans everywhere and spawned several classic fake trailers for the "upcoming" film.
Many years have past and there's still no news on the production of the film, so we'll have to settle instead for well-made fan films devoted to the Pac Man concept.
It's several years old, but this obscure fan film trailer from Therefore Productions is surprisingly well done and very entertaining -- while perhaps attempting to avoid legal trouble by naming it "Pacman" (with no space) instead of the official name, "Pac Man". Gotta love their creativity at adapting the Pac Man universe to a real world setting (including backstory), with a clever splash of sci-fi to glue it all together.
Hollywood should hire these guys to make the full feature. Looks like an instant classic to us.
