Remember " Pixels ," that undeniably cool short film which made the viral rounds earlier this year? Well, now it's going to be turned into a feature and it just landed a new writer.

Adam Sandler collaborator Tim Herlihy will adapt the short for Sandler's Happy Madison production company and Columbia. The original " Pixels " is pretty amazing -- it shows New York City under attack from a bunch of giant old-school pixelated video game characters.According to, Happy Madison approached the short's writer-director, Patrick Jean, with an eye to making a "Ghostbusters-style action comedy in which characters come out of a video game to wreak havoc in the real world."Herlihy is an SNL vet and has also scripted films like Billy Madison, The Wedding Singer and Just Go With It.Check out the original short right here:
