EA and Fox Pen Spore Film Deal

None

In a Varitety report by Mark Graser, it was announced that EA’s Spore video game franchise will be getting the silver-screen treatment.

According to the article, “Twentieth Century Fox has paired up with Electronic Arts to turn the publisher’s popular “Spore” game into an animated creature feature, with “Ice Age’s” Chris Wedge attached to helm.”

“I’m always looking for unique worlds to go to in animation,” Wedge said. “From every perspective — visually, thematically and comedically — the world of ‘Spore’ provides the potential to put something truly original on the screen.”

Screen-playwrights Greg Erb and Jason Oremland, whose previous work included Disney’s upcoming “The Princess and the Frog” and the Paramount Ben Stiller picture “The Return of King Doug,” have signed on to write the script. Spore “will be produced as a CG-animated toon by EA and Blue Sky Studios, which is behind the studio’s “Ice Age” pics, “Robots”, and its next effort, “Rio.”
