Supercell Seeks Talent for Clash of Clans Film and TV Projects

Is Supercell gearing up to bring their iconic games like Clash of Clans to the big screen? The chances are looking more promising as the Finnish mobile game developer has recently started recruiting for a senior film and TV development executive. Could Supercell be following in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully adapted their Angry Birds game into a movie back in 2016?

While it's not a done deal yet, as highlighted by our sister site PocketGamer.biz, the job posting suggests this new position is more about laying the groundwork rather than diving straight into production. The role involves developing a strategy for both live-action and animated films, covering theatrical releases and streaming platforms.

In business terms, this indicates a strategic, long-term approach rather than an immediate jump into movie-making. However, it's likely that Supercell is already sketching out potential plans should they decide to venture into film or animation.

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game portfolio, notably through collaborations and crossovers, such as their partnership with WWE. This trend suggests that branching into film could be a logical next step for the developer.

Despite the significant time gap since Clash of Clans' launch, it's worth remembering that the highly successful Angry Birds movie came out about seven years after the game's debut. Clash of Clans still retains a robust fanbase, and Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co that could be tailored for a younger audience in a movie format.

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?
