Supercell Seeks Talent for Clash of Clans Film and TV Projects

Could Supercell be planning to bring their flagship games like Clash of Clans to the silver screen? It's a tantalizing prospect that seems more likely than ever. The Finnish mobile gaming giant has recently put out a call for a senior film and TV development executive, hinting at a potential move into the world of movies and television, much like Rovio did with Angry Birds back in 2016.

While the idea of seeing Clash of Clans or another major Supercell property on the big screen is exciting, it's important to temper expectations. According to our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz, the job description suggests this new hire will focus on developing a strategy for both live-action and animated films, covering theatrical releases and streaming distribution. This indicates a long-term vision rather than an immediate leap into production.

In the meantime, Supercell is not sitting idle. They've been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, embracing crossovers and collaborations, such as their partnership with WWE. This trend suggests that venturing into film and animation could be a natural next step for the developer.

It's worth remembering that the hugely successful Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the game's initial release. With Clash of Clans still boasting a robust audience, and newer IPs like Mo.co offering potential for more kid-friendly content, Supercell has plenty of options to explore.

Only time will tell how this ambitious plan unfolds. In the meantime, why not keep yourself entertained with our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
