Taking video games and making them into movies is nothing new in Hollywood. Some have found great success, such as the Resident Evil franchise. Others have fared not-so-well… Mario Brothers, anyone?
That’s why we had a raised eyebrow when it was announced that the wildly popular smart phone video game Angry Birds was coming to the big screen from game maker Rovio and Sony Pictures. Now that the first trailer is here, it’s leapt to our must-see list!
First of all, The Angry Birds Movie cast is incredible. Jason Sudeikis is Red, Josh Gad is Chuck and Danny McBride is the explosive Bomb. Also joining them in the hilarious ensemble is Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Keegan-Michael Key, Peter Dinklage, Kate McKinnon and Jillian Bell.
Look for The Angry Birds Movie on July 1, 2016.
