Pac-Man, along with his long-time co-stars Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde, are ready to hit the silver screen.

Wayfarer Studios is developing a live-action film based on the classic arcade game about the hungry yellow sphere with an unending appetite for dots and a well-founded fear of ghosts.

Bandai Namco Entertainment, the company behind the arcade version of Pac-Man as well as games like Galaga and Tekken, is co-producing. Wayfarer Studios is the production company founded by Justin Baldoni and Steve Sarowitz.

Originally called Puck Man in Japan and released in the United States in 1980, Pac-Man became a coin-operated arcade favorite. The game is set in mazes where Pac-Man has to eat tiny pellets while being pursued by ghosts who will take his life if they touch him. If you stay alive, the mazes get progressively more difficult.

The game spawned several sequel games like Ms. Pac-Man, as well as two television series, the Saturday morning cartoon Pac-Man from Hanna-Barbera, which aired on ABC from 1982-1983, and the CG animated series Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, which debuted on Disney XD in 2013.

The project will be based on an original idea from Chuck Williams (Sonic the Hedgehog) of Lightbeam Entertainment. Baldoni, Manu Gargi and Andrew Calof will produce on behalf of Wayfarer Studios, with Tracy Ryerson developing.

There is no projected release date yet.
