It’s instances like this after I notice nothing from my childhood is sacred, not even Pac-Man’s harmless maze travels. In line with an unique Leisure Weekly interview with Tim Miller, creator of the upcoming Amazon animated collection Secret Stage, his new present will ship what could possibly be the bloodiest depiction of Pac-Man ever.
Secret Stage, releasing on Amazon Prime Video on December 10, can be a 15-episode anthology collection exploring thrilling adventures based mostly on 15 totally different basic and upcoming video games. Warhammer 40,000, Exodus, Mega Man, and Unreal Event are among the many properties that may present the idea for an episode, and the present appears to be using some visually arresting storytelling to deliver them to life. Curiously, though the blade-wielding primary character of Sifu cuts via a swarm of adversaries within the present’s trailer, Miller attests that the Pac-Man episode is “our bloodiest episode ever.”
Within the episode, a swordsman wakes up trapped in a maze he has no concept how he received into, and is instructed by Puck—a floating golden orb whose identify is a reference to Puck-Man, Pac-Man’s authentic moniker—that he’s the one “Chosen” to flee the maze. Whereas nobody related to the episode explicitly tells us what occurs that makes it so bloody, the descriptions we now have gotten could also be sufficient to offer us a touch. Government producer Dave Wilson says, “Pac-Man is Joe Pesci and the swordsman is Man Pearce in Memento.” Seeing how Pesci nearly solely performs homicidal hotheads, and Man Pearce strangles a person to loss of life in Memento, the 10-minute Pac-Man episode may reside as much as its bloody hype if that comparability holds true.
As stunned as chances are you’ll really feel a couple of violent Pac-Man story, the individuals behind it level out how the unique recreation isn’t all that harmless. JT Petty, teleplay author of the Pac-Man episode, describes the sport as basically “consuming tablets in a labyrinth when you’re being chased by ghosts,” in a world the place the ghosts’ eyes return to the middle of the sport to regenerate and repeat the damaging cycle.
Whenever you have a look at Pac-Man that means, you’ll be able to see how there could possibly be a darker facet to it; a darker facet we’ll have our still-attached-to-our-heads eyes glued to when the episode releases in December.
