They're feathered and they're furious. "Angry Birds" movie to hit theaters.

     Just goes to show if something is popular, eventually someone will option it into a movie.
     "Coming Soon" reports that a film based on the popular game "Angry Birds" is in development.  Producers John Masiel (Iron Man) and John Cohen (Despicable Me) will back the film, working in conjunction with Rovio Entertainment who created the game and will finance the production.
     Not surprisingly the film will be CGI (like it was going to be live action) and made using the 3D format.  Rovio Entertainment, Cohen, and Masiel hope to have the picture in production soon but no word yet on possible voices or a director.
     I wish I could say I'm surprised by this but I'm not.  After all Hollywood made Battleship into a movie.  And to be honest this could be a quality family film.  One thing's almost certain--with all the product tie-ins this movie will make some straight cash homie.
     Angry Birds is set to destroy green pigs sometime in 2016.
