In news reminiscent of last year's Joust antics, a Pac-Man film adaptation has been announced by Hollywood production company Crystal Sky Pictures.

The Pac-Man pic is part of a $200 million development deal funded by entertainment financier Grosvenor Park, according to Variety. No other details on the project were provided.

The transaction also includes funding for the upcoming Castlevania movie, recently delayed due to the WGA strike.
