Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be making its way to the big screen? It's a possibility that's becoming more tangible by the day. The Finnish mobile gaming giant, Supercell, has initiated a search for a senior film and TV development executive, signaling a potential shift towards cinematic ventures, much like Rovio did with Angry Birds back in 2016.
However, according to insights from our sister site PocketGamer.biz, this new role isn't about diving headfirst into production. The job description emphasizes the development of a comprehensive strategy for both live-action and animated films, as well as exploring theatrical and streaming distribution options. In simpler terms, this position is more about laying the groundwork and watching the market closely. While it's speculative, it's likely that Supercell is already sketching out initial plans should they decide to venture into the world of film and animation.
Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, notably through engaging in crossovers and collaborations, such as their partnership with WWE. This trend suggests that expanding into film could be a logical next step for the developer.
Despite the years that have passed since Clash of Clans' debut, it's important to remember that the highly successful Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the original game. This indicates that even with the passage of time, Clash of Clans still holds a robust audience. Additionally, Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co, which could be tailored into family-friendly cinematic releases.
Only time will tell how this intriguing development 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?
