Angry Birds Films Incoming?

Angry Birds is huge. That's not news, of course, but what is news is that the company behind the franchise wants it to be even bigger. They believe a film franchise about the game and its characters is not only possible, but almost inevitable.

"How I see our whole brand, our whole Angry Birds franchise - I definitely see the film potential as a long-term commitment," the franchise developer said in a recent interview.

"Not just the one-off flick that happened, but to really flesh out the world, build the characters, make it really engaging. We're not trying to imitate or copycat anybody, but if you think of examples of what has been done before, if you think of something like Ice Age: there's three movies, pretty popular - that sort of thing. Really breathe a lot of life into and flesh out the world of Angry Birds."

Angry Birds recently became available on Windows Phones, and can now be played on almost every platform conceivable. The game has sold more than 12 million copies to date.
