Supercell Hires for Film and TV: Clash of Clans Movie in the Works?

Could Supercell's flagship games like Clash of Clans be making their way to the silver screen? It's more likely than you might think. The Finnish mobile game developer has recently started the hunt for a senior film and TV development executive. This move suggests they might be following in the footsteps of another Finnish developer, Rovio, who successfully brought Angry Birds to the movies back in 2016.

While it's not a done deal just yet, our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz point out that the job listing doesn't indicate an immediate leap into production. Instead, it's about crafting a strategy for both live-action and animated films, covering theatrical and streaming distribution. In simpler terms, this role is more about planning and strategizing for the future, rather than jumping straight into action. Though, it wouldn't be surprising if Supercell is already sketching out preliminary plans should they decide to venture into the film and animation industry.

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

Even though Clash of Clans has been around for a while, it's important to remember that the Angry Birds movie hit theaters seven years after the game's debut. Despite the time that has passed, Clash of Clans still enjoys a robust audience, and Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co that could be tailored for a younger demographic in a movie release.

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