We are on the precipice of a genre that is looking to be taken seriously in 2016. This year there will be more video game adaptations at the movie theaters than ever before, with films ranging from Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed to Ratchet and Clank. Studios have finally left the memory of the Super Mario Bros movie in the past and are attempting to find oil in this untapped medium.
Sony Pictures decided to produce The Angry Birds Movie, which is one of the most recognizable video games in modern times, due to its easy accessibility by smartphones. In addition, it’s a game that kids and older generations have been able to play, so there should be a fan base for the brand.
We get our first full-length trailer for The Angry Birds Movie, after a teaser that got the attention of many who were caught off guard by the adaptation. This time around we get to see more of the world and the lead character Red, played by Jason Sudeikis. This is gearing up to be a summer release, so it seems that there are high expectations for the movie. Time will tell if the movie only makes the audience angry. Enjoy the trailer.
Official Synopsis:
In the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we’ll finally find out why the birds are so angry.
The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.
Featuring a hilarious, all-star voice cast that includes Bill Hader (Trainwreck, Inside Out), Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids, Sisters), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), as well as Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters), Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development), Tituss Burgess (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Ike Barinholtz (Neighbors, Sisters), Hannibal Buress (Daddy’s Home, Broad City), Jillian Bell (22 Jump Street), Danielle Brooks (Orange is the New Black), Latin music sensation Romeo Santos, YouTube stars Smosh (Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla), and country music superstar Blake Shelton
The Angry Birds Movie opens on May 20th, 2016.
