Looks like Sony Pictures Entertainment is about to release the very first trailer for Adam Sandler's Pixels as a teaser for the teaser has surfaced online. The film is inspired by classic video games, like Donkey Kong, Frogger, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Centipede.

When intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (Kevin James) has to call on his childhood best friend, '80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Michelle Monaghan plays the team's unique weapons specialist.

Check out the Pixels teaser in the video below.

The action-comedy is directed by Chris Columbus from a story by Tim Herlihy and a screenplay by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, based on the original short film of the same name by Patrick Jean.

Pixels will arrive in theaters May 15, 2015.
