If you are a fan of the award winning successful application phenomenon, the hysterically funny Angry Birds, then good news await you as a movie about the game is currently in the making. Though no trailer has yet been released, word is, that Marvel are getting their hands busy in the making of the film, but it won’t be available until 2014 at the earliest. Let’s hope we will not be tired of the Angry Birds series by then, and hopefully live through December 2012...
The background behind the movie starts with the fact, that Rovio, the creater of Angry Birds, has hired former Marver Studios chairman David Maisel as a special adviser. The latter, who left Marvel in 2009 after Walt Disney Co. bought the studio for $4 billion, will be the executive producer for the upcoming movie. He was als responsible for shepherding mega-hits like Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.
Although there are already ideas for short animation films with cooperation of the Finnish animation studio Kombo, the development of a full-length movie will however take a few years. Nevertheless, this is an important step for Rovio toward expanding its Angry Birds franchise and popularize their product.
The movie about Angry Birds might really come into light one day and be a huge success like the game itself, but I guess we will just have to wait for it to come out before the euphoria around the Angry Birds series has gone away.
