Supercell Seeks Talent for Clash of Clans Movie and TV Projects

Could Supercell's top properties like Clash of Clans be making their way to the big screen? It's a possibility that's gaining traction, especially with the Finnish mobile gaming giant's recent move to hire a senior film and TV development executive. This step echoes the successful transition of Rovio's Angry Birds to the cinema back in 2016, hinting at Supercell's potential interest in following suit.

However, as reported by our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz, the job description suggests this role isn't just about jumping straight into production. Rather, it's about crafting a strategic approach to both live-action and animated film, as well as exploring theatrical and streaming distribution options. In business terms, this indicates a more cautious, long-term planning role, though it's likely Supercell is already sketching out preliminary ideas for how to bring their games to life on screen.

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, venturing into crossovers and collaborations, such as their partnership with WWE. This move towards film and animation feels like a natural progression for the developer.

It's important to consider the timeline; the Angry Birds movie hit theaters seven years after the game's launch. Similarly, despite the years that have passed since Clash of Clans debuted, it still commands a substantial audience. Additionally, Supercell's newer IPs, like Mo.co, could be perfect candidates for family-friendly cinematic ventures.
