The plot centers around aliens, who misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war. They attack the Earth using the games as models for their various assaults. The film will have an all-star cast including: Adam Sandler (who founded Happy Madison Productions), Kevin James, Josh Gad, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Monaghan, Brian Cox, Ashley Benson and Jane Krakowski.
Characters from classic arcade games such as Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Frogger, and Donkey Kong, among several others, have been licensed for use in the film. The trailer is set to release alongside The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which comes out this weekend. Here are the three other newly-released posters:
