We reported back in March that Chris Columbus was going to direct Pixels, a movie adaptation of a short film about video game characters attacking New York. And this past Thursday, the Sony Pictures’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con played a very special video in which Columbus offers fans at the event a chance to win a walk-on role in the film.

To enter fans have to head to the Electric Dreams Arcade at the Hard Rock Hotel. Sony also released a video for the arcade, which features Peter Dinklage in character.
