Angry Birds Hits Theaters In 2016

[Asuka Soryu]

It's the Mario movie all over again, but in crappy CGI!

By the time this comes out... would anyone even care anymore?

Who knows but I stopped caring already.

The only way this can be good is that for each screening, the theater staff dress up as pigs and random objects and the audience gets to throw Angry Bird plushies at them for 90 minutes.

This made me laugh much more than it should have.

OT: The movie will probably end up succeeding based on morbid curiosity, as well as people going out of their way to watch it to indulge in it's terribleness.

Why? WHY?
There are many games that can translate into movies. I wouldn't mind seeing a Bioshock movie. It seems that all the casual gamers get their way while the hardcore gamers get left into the dust.

List of Movies that can translate into movies:
Bioshock
Fallout
Metal Gear Solid
Pikmin
Legend of Zelda
Metroid
God of War (even I would probably like to see this)
Half-Life

The list can go on, but seriously, Angry Birds?

He was a pig, she was a bird. Their love was pure, their romance forbidden. Angry Birds, in theaters 2016!

Just out of curiosity, but how could you turn Pikmin into a movie?

Olimar crashes on the planet and they have to get enough resources to rebuild the ship.

Well...This can either become the worst videogame film ever or the best.
That's the problem with adaptations of something that only really has a premise but no actual plot attatched to it, It would be like making a DDR movie.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

A film based on the Angry Birds games was inevitable.

Inevitable? How is it even possible?

We have found the right partners and team to help us market and distribute our first motion picture.

our first motion picture.

first

Wat? There will be MOAR?

Huh, at least it sounds like they do have a really good team. I guess worse things have happened...

Spoiler: Prepare yourself!

I agree. Why do so many great games get ignored? I know the stories would have to be adapted for the big screen, something like MGS would have to be severely condensed, but that's like a whole script right there, ready made!

When they do try to adapt movies with great storylines (I'm looking primarily at Max Payne and Silent Hill) they butcher them to the point where everything that made the games great is stripped away. It's genuinely distressing.

How will this medium ever be taken seriously when the only games that reach a mainstream audience are things like Angry Birds? It's just perpetuating the popular misconception that video games are for children and the mentally unhinged.

Are there any two words in the English language more beautiful than "Angry Birds?" Yes, of course there are. Many of them.

OT: i dunno, does angry birds really NEED a movie. and furthermore, thats running the risk of assuming Angry Birds still has the attention of the public in 2015. i mean, there's really only so many licensed alterations they can release before going stale like the Tony Hawk franchise.

 

[Racecarlock]

Okay okay I get it, I'm dreaming. In a few seconds I'm going to wake up in the real world.

Now.

Okay now.

Now?

This is too stupid to be reality, I have to be dreaming.

SOMEBODY PINCH ME ALREADY!

 

[Froggy Slayer]

The only way that this can work is making it an 'in name only' adaption.

'My name is Sgt Pidgeon. And this is my crack fighter squadron...the Angry Birds.'
