PIXELS Trailer Contains Hidden Easter Egg For Ashley Benson's 'Lady Lisa'

In a neat bit of subliminal marketing, the trailer for Sony Pictures' Pixels contained a very well-hidden Easter Egg that ties in quite nicely with Ashley Benson's character, Lady Lisa, the fierce heroine of Dojo Quest! Come check it out! The film hits theaters July 24th.

Yesterday, Sony Pictures finally released the first official teaser trailer for their upcoming Chris Columbus-directed film Pixels, which stars Adam Sandler (Happy Gilmore), Peter Dinklage (Game Of Thrones), Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible 3), Kevin James (Hitch), Josh Gad (Frozen), Jane Krakowski (30 Rock), and Ashley Benson (Pretty Little Liars) in key roles. While most of the stars were seen in the trailer, one notable absence was Ashley Benson, who is slated to play a video game character brought to life in the film, but after a more thorough examination, it seems her perceived exclusion in the trailer may have been a little more deliberate than not.

If you had a keen eye, you may have spotted this Easter Egg yesterday, but if you were one of the many that didn't catch it, scroll down to the bottom of this article, play the trailer, and skip ahead to around the 1:38 mark. An image featuring Benson and her video game counterpart Lady Lisa will pop up very quickly and invite viewers to head over to unlock her at DojoQuest.com, which is actually a downloadable game, made exclusively for use in the movie. The game is currently available free of charge at the App Store and on Google Play. Check out a screencap of the hidden Easter Egg below:

The website also contains a link to a Tumblr page, titled "I Love You Lady Lisa," which is a strangely obsessive fan site run by Josh Gad's character in the film. Check out the trailer for the Dojo Quest video game below:

In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (James) has to call on his childhood best friend, ’80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Dinklage and Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Monaghan plays the team's unique weapons specialist. The action-comedy is directed by Chris Columbus from a story by Tim Herlihy and a screenplay by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, based on the original short film of the same name by Patrick Jean.

Pixels hits theaters July 24

Unlock Ashley Benson huh?

The trailer just played on TV a while ago. Isn't it a little soon for a trailer to appear on TV just the day after it appears online?

staypuffed - 3/18/2015, 11:18 PM

um... wow.

Another article tailored to have all the losers on here touching themselves and thinking they have a shot with a real woman......... SAD

loki668 - 3/18/2015, 11:45 PM

Ranking women who are hotter than you'll ever get close to..... Yeah anyway.

Snotzo - 3/19/2015, 12:42 AM

Too bad the movie looks terrible.

Reasonnnn - 3/19/2015, 12:49 AM

@Kintama I think your sarcasm detector is broken. smhhhh

She's something else.

Kintama - 3/19/2015, 1:41 AM

@Reasonnnn @loki668 - Nah it's working, I'm not talking about you in particular, but there are LOTS of dudes who critique gorgeous women and try to rank them like that

loki668 - 3/19/2015, 2:10 AM

@Kintama

I know but, as soon as I heard that about the "sarcasm detector", it was the first thing that came to mind. Well, that and Futurama.

Pretty little liars chick? She had auditioned for Harley Quinn

MikeZ - 3/19/2015, 3:36 AM

@ JasonBlue - 3/19/2015, 2:40 AM

What? Somehow I'm glad she didn't get the role. Ashley's a sweetheart, but absolutely not Harley Quinn material.

SuperCat - 3/19/2015, 4:11 AM

She can get it.

CherryBomb - 3/19/2015, 4:15 AM

Little fact, Ashley's likeness was once used for Jean Grey!

grif - 3/19/2015, 4:41 AM

still a shit movie

AlexdoxA - 3/19/2015, 4:46 AM

And THAT is how a flame war gets started @CaptShipwreck, Thanks

dapug88 - 3/19/2015, 5:23 AM

Is it me or does she have cellulite on her left cheek? Still hit though

batz11 - 3/19/2015, 5:42 AM

Yeah, that ass pic definitely looks like she lost a lot of weight...too bad, like dapug said, I'd still hit it, no worries here...

nibs - 3/19/2015, 5:46 AM

Why does everyone keep calling this the first trailer? I saw a trailer for this months ago.

LEOSTRATOR - 3/19/2015, 6:04 AM

That back shot of her looks like a flapjack, Bulaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

BackwardGalaxy - 3/19/2015, 6:11 AM

soooooooooooooo attractive

vtopa - 3/19/2015, 7:01 AM

I. [frick]ING. HATE. ADAM. SANDLER.

BigDaddyJinx - 3/19/2015, 11:22 AM

Wow. Someone needs to tell Sony and Sandler to turn down the suck.

Is he ever gonna make another watchable movie?

LifeDayFan - 3/19/2015, 12:33 PM
