Will bring pill-munching classic “to life”.
What with its disembodied floating heads, terrifying supernatural antagonists and dark, pill-strewn corridors, we wouldn’t have pegged Pac-Man as an obvious candidate for a reality TV adaptation.
However, it seems US TV production company Merv Griffin Entertainment sees things a little differently. Apparently it’s teamed up with Namco Bandai to work on exactly that.
Merv Griffin boss Roy Bank told Deadline that the plan is to make a “big, crazy Wipeout-type event with a lot of energy. The idea we have is to take what Pac-Man is and bring it to life, to bring what is essentially the world’s biggest game of tag to television.”
