Development on a theatrical adaptation of the Angry Birds smartphone game is in the works and former Marvel Studios chariman David Maisel has signed on as a special adviser for the movie.
While there’s no release date set in stone, rumor is a 2014 release.

From a very simple (though well designed) mobile gaming app to a movie. This is quite a hardvard business case. I mean, if Rovio can keep Angry Birds popularity for a couple of years more, it will end up becoming a classic, don’t want to compare it to Pac-Man and Tetris, but what the heck, it’s a record game, downloaded millions of times, available for all systems, merchandise, and now the movie, which is backed up by some well-known people in the film industry. Kudos to the people at Rovio for the multiple achievements.
Rovio is really serious with the movie! But why hire David Maisel? I think he’s jobless right now after Walt Disney bought Marvel. And since 20th Century Fox owe them a lot because of the success of Rio, maybe they are the one who can really help Rovio.
According to David is quite easy to tell the Angry Birds movie. Angry Birds easily anesthetized game lovers, David believes it will also soon be loved the filmgoers.
