Yep, Angry Birds is still getting a movie adaptation, and a surprising amount of talent is attached to it. Disney Animation Studios veteran Clay Kaytis and Sony Pictures Animation’s Fergal Reilly have both been tapped to direct the movie based on a mobile game. Kaytis is known for her work on Tangled and the spectacular ending sequence of Wreck-it Ralph , as well as the tear-jerking Disney short Paperman . Reilly, on the other hand, has worked on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Hotel Transylvania , as well as performing CGI work for movies such as Spider-Man 2 .
Kaytis and Reilly are not the only two well-known movie-industry vets working on this title. They will be joining Jon Vitti, who will be writing the screenplay. Vitti is known for his work on Saturday Night Live , The Office , and the hilarious Mr. Plow episode of The Simpsons . It will also be produced by John Cohen who worked on Despicable Me and Catherine Winder, who worked on Ice Age . It will be executive produced by David Maisel, who worked on Iron Man . Simply put, this movie has quite the staff.
The Angry Birds movie is set to hit theaters on July 1 st , 2016. Hopefully, we will still be playing Angry Birds by then… HAHAHHA, of course we will. Angry Birds will never die.
