Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be headed to the big screen? It's more likely than you might think. The Finnish mobile gaming giant, Supercell, has started the hunt for a senior film and TV development executive. This move suggests they might be following in the footsteps of their fellow Finnish developer, Rovio, who successfully brought Angry Birds to the movies back in 2016.
While it's not guaranteed that Supercell will dive straight into movie production, according to our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz, the job description focuses more on building a strategy for live-action and animated films, along with theatrical and streaming distribution. In simpler terms, this role seems to be about laying the groundwork and planning for the future, rather than jumping into production immediately. However, it's safe to assume that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary ideas on how they could bring their iconic games to life on screen.
Clash for the Ages - Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, venturing into crossovers and collaborations, such as their recent partnership with WWE. This trend indicates that expanding into film and animation could be a natural next step for the developer.
It's interesting to note the timeline: the Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the original game's release. Despite the years that have passed since Clash of Clans was launched, it still boasts a robust fanbase. Additionally, Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co, which could be perfect for a more family-oriented film.
We'll have to keep an eye on how this unfolds. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to keep you entertained, why not explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
