Supercell Seeks Talent for Clash of Clans Film and TV Projects

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 as Supercell, the renowned Finnish mobile game developer, has begun the search for a senior film and TV development executive. This move echoes the path taken by fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully brought Angry Birds to cinemas back in 2016.

However, as highlighted by our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz, the job description doesn't indicate an immediate dive into film production. Instead, it emphasizes the development of a comprehensive strategy for both live-action and animated films, as well as theatrical and streaming distribution. In simpler terms, this role seems to be more about laying the groundwork and planning for the future rather than jumping straight into production.

Yet, it's not hard to imagine that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary ideas for how they could bring their iconic games to life on screen. After all, Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their portfolio, venturing into exciting crossovers and collaborations, such as their partnership with the WWE. This trend suggests that a move into film and animation could be a natural progression for the company.

It's worth noting that despite the significant time gap since Clash of Clans' initial release, the franchise remains incredibly popular. Similarly, the Angry Birds movie was released seven years after the original game, proving that a well-loved game can still captivate audiences on the big screen years later. Additionally, Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co that could be tailored into family-friendly cinematic experiences.
