Justin Baldoni’s Pac-Man Movie Faces Legal Woes After Reveal

Jan 30, 2025 12:08 PM

The highly anticipated Pac-Man movie, directed by Justin Baldoni, is facing significant setbacks due to a legal dispute surrounding allegations of misconduct against him by actress Blake Lively. This controversy stems from their collaboration on the romantic drama "It Ends With Us," which was a financial success. Despite Baldoni’s desire to share news about the Pac-Man project, his ongoing legal battles have cast doubt on its future. The film has been in development since 2022 and is currently at a standstill pending more clarity on the situation, leaving fans wondering about its status.

Will the Pac-Man movie still happen despite the legal issues?

As of now, the Pac-Man movie appears to be on hold due to the legal troubles involving Justin Baldoni. Until these issues are resolved, the future of the project remains uncertain, and no new developments have emerged regarding its production or release date.

Pac-Man, originally created by Namco in the 1980s, has become a cultural icon and has spawned numerous adaptations and merchandise. The prospect of a movie has excited fans, especially following the success of the recent gaming anthology series "Secret Level" and a fresh take on the franchise with the Metroidvania-style "Shadow Labyrinth." Despite its challenges, the concept of a Pac-Man movie continues to generate interest among viewers and gamers alike.
