Angry Birds is one of the most famous games to hit since
Super Mario. The game also has shirts,
iPod covers, and stuffed animals. The game also got a funny joke told on
30 Rock by
Aaron Sorkin. I have
Angry Birds my self, but when you only have the free version you cant do that much so. But is the game good enough to have its own movie?
Marvel Studios chairman
David Maisel is signing a deal with the games publisher
Rovio to make a movie out of the popular wing- less birds.
Hear is what
Maisel had to say- "There has been so much chatter about an ‘Angry Birds’ movie, but it’s now real. The process is starting now."
Rovio has already been smart enough to make a deal with
Blue Sky Studios and
Fox to put
Angry Birds into the movie
Rio, and to develop a
Rio-branded version of the game.
Rovio is also licensing the Birds like crazy, and wants to push into other media. Movies are one obvious avenue. There has been talk of a claymation version of the story — well, that’s inasmuch as there is a story. Given that the game features no characters and limits the voices of the birds to a few squawks and cries, there’s a lot of work to be done before this one is able to make the movie leap.
