Could Clash of Clans or another major Supercell property be making its way to the big screen? It's looking increasingly probable, as the renowned Finnish mobile developer has initiated a search for a senior film and TV development executive. This move hints at Supercell potentially following in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, which successfully adapted Angry Birds into movies back in 2016.
According to our sister site PocketGamer.biz, the job description for this new position isn't just about immediate film production. Instead, it focuses on developing a comprehensive strategy for both live-action and animated projects, covering theatrical releases and streaming platforms. In business terms, this suggests a more strategic, long-term approach rather than an immediate dive into movie-making. However, it's reasonable to speculate that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary plans for how they could bring their games to the screen.
Clash for the agesSupercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, notably through engaging in high-profile crossovers and collaborations, such as with WWE. This trend suggests that venturing into film and animation could be a logical next step for the developer.
Despite the time that has passed since Clash of Clans was first released, it's important to remember that the highly successful Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the game's debut. This shows that even after a significant period, Clash of Clans still boasts a dedicated audience. Additionally, Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co, which could be tailored for a more family-friendly cinematic release.
We'll need to stay tuned to see 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?
