Supercell Seeks Talent for Clash of Clans Movie and TV Projects

Is Supercell gearing up to bring their top properties like Clash of Clans to the big screen? It's a possibility that's becoming more tangible as the Finnish mobile game developer has initiated a 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.

While it's not a done deal just yet, our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz highlight that the job description isn't solely focused on immediate project development. Instead, it's about crafting a comprehensive strategy for both live-action and animated films, covering theatrical releases and streaming distribution.

In simpler terms, this role leans more towards strategic planning rather than immediate action. However, it wouldn't be surprising if Supercell is already sketching out preliminary plans for how they might venture into the realms of film and animation.

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalogue, diving into crossovers and collaborations, such as with WWE. Given this trajectory, transitioning to movies seems like a logical next step for the developer.

It's important to remember that there was a significant gap between the initial release of Clash of Clans and the present day. Yet, the highly successful Angry Birds movie was released seven years after the game's debut. This suggests that despite the passage of time, Clash of Clans still boasts a robust audience. Moreover, Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co, which could be tailored for a younger demographic in film adaptations.

We'll need to keep an eye on how this unfolds. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to do, why not explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
