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 gaining traction as the Finnish mobile developer has begun searching for a senior film and TV development executive. This move echoes the path taken by another Finnish developer, Rovio, who successfully transformed their Angry Birds franchise into a movie back in 2016.

While it's tempting to think that Supercell might be ready to dive into film production, the job description for this new role suggests a more strategic approach. According to PocketGamer.biz, the position involves developing a strategy for both live-action and animated films, as well as exploring theatrical and streaming distribution options. This indicates a careful, long-term plan rather than an immediate jump into movie-making.

In simpler terms, this role seems to be about laying the groundwork and watching for the right moment to act. Although it's speculative, it wouldn't be surprising if Supercell is already sketching out preliminary ideas for how they might bring their games to life on screen.

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their games, venturing into crossovers and collaborations, such as their partnership with WWE. This trend suggests that moving into film and animation could be a natural next step for the developer.

Even though a significant amount of time has passed since Clash of Clans was first released, it's worth noting that the highly successful Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the original game. Clash of Clans still boasts a robust audience, and Supercell also has newer IPs like Mo.co that could be tailored for a more family-friendly cinematic release.

We'll need 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?
