Peter Dinklage to play games with Adam Sandler in ‘Pixels’

Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage is in final negotiations to join Adam Sandler’s upcoming sci-fi comedy Pixels, The Wrap reports.

The Game of Thrones star, to be seen next as the villain in X-Men: Days of Future Past, will appear alongside Sandler, Kevin James and Josh Gad in the flick.

Pixels is based on Patrick Jean’s short film of the same name, which saw, well, pixels attacking New York City.

The feature film, helmed by Chris Columbus, concerns a similar attack, with those aforementioned actors playing video game experts called in to end the alien threat.

Though any Sandler/James collaboration inspires nervous feelings, the unique premise and involvement of the always entertaining Dinklage should make this a slightly more promising venture.
