Supercell Seeks Talent for Clash of Clans Film and TV Projects

Could Supercell's flagship titles like Clash of Clans be making their way to the big screen? It's a tantalizing possibility as the renowned Finnish mobile developer has recently announced they are hiring a senior film and TV development executive. This move echoes the path taken by another Finnish developer, Rovio, which successfully brought their Angry Birds franchise to cinemas back in 2016.

While a film adaptation isn't guaranteed, the job listing on PocketGamer.biz suggests that Supercell isn't rushing into this venture. Instead, the role is focused on crafting a comprehensive strategy for both live-action and animated projects, aimed at both theatrical and streaming distribution. This indicates a more strategic, long-term approach rather than an immediate leap into movie production.

In business terms, the position is geared towards planning and preparation. However, it's likely that Supercell is already sketching out potential concepts for how they might transition their properties into film or animation should they decide to proceed.

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, engaging in exciting crossovers and collaborations, such as with the WWE. This trend suggests that venturing into film and television could be a logical next step for the developer.

It's worth noting that despite the significant time gap since Clash of Clans was first released, the Angry Birds movie hit the screens seven years after the game's debut. This shows that even older IPs can still captivate audiences on the big screen. Moreover, Supercell's newer IPs like Mo.co could be perfectly positioned for a more family-friendly cinematic release.
