Could Supercell's top properties like Clash of Clans be making their way to the big screen? It's a tantalizing prospect, and it's becoming increasingly plausible. The Finnish mobile gaming giant has recently begun searching for a senior film and TV development executive, hinting at potential plans to follow in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully brought Angry Birds to cinemas back in 2016.
According to our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz, the job listing isn't a signal for an immediate green light on a movie project. Instead, the role focuses on crafting a comprehensive strategy for both live-action and animated films, as well as handling theatrical and streaming distribution. In simpler terms, this new position is more about laying the groundwork and planning for the future rather than jumping straight into production.
However, it's safe to speculate that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary ideas for how they would approach film and animation, should they decide to take the plunge. Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, engaging in high-profile crossovers and collaborations, such as their venture with WWE. This move into multimedia seems like a natural progression for the developer.
Despite the years that have passed since Clash of Clans first hit the market, the game still boasts a robust and dedicated audience. Moreover, Supercell's newer IPs, like Mo.co, could also serve as a foundation for a more family-friendly cinematic release. After all, the Angry Birds movie was released a full seven years after the game's debut, proving that timing isn't everything when it comes to successful adaptations.
