Pac-Man (2022)

"Pac-Man" is a 2022 American CGI animated film based on the popular arcade game by Bandai Namco. The film is made by Sony Pictures Animation, and is directed by Travis Knight.

Production
The film was announced in 2017 by Universal Studios, and was originally supposed to be a live-action/CGI film set in a video game world, and the film would be slated for a 2021 release. But as of June 2020, Sony Pictures acquired the rights to the film and they, and Bandai Namco, decided to make it into a fully CGI animated film under their Sony Pictures Animation studio, and is now slated for a summer 2022 release. This caused many people who worked on the Universal film to be fired and re-casted for the animated film. Bandai Namco said that production will begin in April of 2021 and expecting to end production by January 2022.

Casting
Sony has confirmed that Travis Knight (director of Bumblebee and Kubo and the Two Strings) will be directing the film, and Toru Iwatani (the creator of Pac-Man) will be both producer and executive producer for this upcoming film. Jesse Eisenberg will be the voice of the main character himself, while Chris Evans will voice the main villain of the movie.
