Sony Pictures To Release Angry Birds In 2016
As a
matter of interesting fact, the entertainment giant Sony have announced
it's win over the global distribution rights to an animated film which
would be based on the hit game 'Angry Birds'.
Finnish
mobile gaming company Rovio have been behind the film production and
finance which has disclosed that the movie could result in it
establishing an animation studio rivalling
global giant Walt Disney. Sony Pictures Entertainment have defeated
several major studios to win exclusive worldwide distribution rights to
the 3D movie while it furthered announcing a deal with Mikael Hed who is the CEO of Rovio Entertainment.
To move
on the statement, ‘Despicable Me’ producer John Cohen and ‘Iron Man’
executive producer David Maisel will be working on the movie which have
been scheduled for release on July 1, 2016.
Hed
expressed is view that Sony impressed them with their great attitude,
determination, and professionalism at the same time they convinced them
that they have found the right partners and team to help them market and distribute their first motion picture.
‘Angry
Birds,’ which has initiated their journey in 2009 as a mobile game, has
become one of the world’s biggest entertainment franchises which
interestingly involves using slingshots to launch little birds at fortresses built by green pigs.
Michael
Lynton who is Sony Pictures Entertainment chief executive and chairman
Amy Pascal said in a joint statement that every studio in town would
love to add ‘Angry Birds’ to their
slate having it as a special mention that there are few titles out
there that bring this kind of excitement, brand awareness and built-in
audience to the table. That's perhaps
the reason for them to gain thrilled to be distributing this film while
they hope this is just the beginning of what will be a long
relationship with Rovio as they look for ways to work on future projects together.
Hed was
known to have mentioned in December that the ‘Angry Birds’ movie could
persuade Rovio setting up a movie studio that would compete with
California-based Walt Disney Animation
Studios. They expressed their determination to let it go outstandingly
while they are constructing it in such a way that it would let them
carry forward the journey of producing more movies happening again and again!
‘Angry Birds,’ will get released in 2016
The countdown starts now!
