Marvel Studios chairman gives input on "Angry Birds"

  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.
