Pac-Man is moving to the big screen.
The beloved 80s-era arcade game is in development to be made into a live-action feature, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Jane the Virgin alum Justin Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios, also founded by Steve Sarowitz, and Bandai Namco Entertainment, the visionary of other video games including Galaga and Tekken, are spearheading the project, THR says.
While the cast and other details are still under wraps, the untitled project was written by Chuck Williams, who produced Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog, Variety reports.
Williams's Lightbeam Entertainment and Wayfarer will produce the movie, per the outlet.

It's not the first time Pac-Man has made the jump from coin-operated game to another format. Two television series, one on ABC and one on Disney XD, highlighted the yellow chomper.
The latter series, Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, ran for two seasons from 2013 to 2016.

Another nostalgic touchstone for gamers, Super Mario Bros., is further along in its transition to the big screen.
Guardians of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt is set to play the Italian plumber in the new animated movie, still untitled, due next year.
In an Instagram post last September, Pratt referenced the memorable "It's-a me, Mario" tagline and said of his voice for the project, "You'll have to wait to hear the voice, but we've been working hard at it." He also added that "dreams come true," while explaining his childhood connection to the games.
