Peter Dinklage in Talks to Join Adam Sandler in 'Pixels'

Peter Dinklage is in early negotiations to join Adam Sandler, Josh Gad and Kevin James in Pixels, which Chris Columbus is directing for Sony and Happy Madison.
Pixels was one of the Internet shorts that garnered Hollywood buzz in 2010 (the same year that The Gift and Panic Attack! made the rounds) and depicted 1980s video game characters attacking New York City.
Tim Herlihy and Tim Dowling worked on the script, which sees James as the President of the United States asking his childhood pals (Sandler and Gad) for help to stop the video games from waging war on the human race.

Dinklage will play a former Donkey Kong and Space Invaders champion who is a loudmouth.

I thought this was gonna be an Animated film. But Dinklage looks awesome, but Monaghan looks like a fish out of water. The rest doesn't keep my interest up.
