Spyro the Dragon Coming to the Big Screen?

The Animation Picture Company has optioned the rights to turn Spyro the Dragon, the purple star of Sierra Entertainment and Vivendi Game's video game franchise, into an animated feature.

APC's Dan Chuba, John Davis, Mark Dippe, Brian Manis and Ash Shah will produce the CG-animated film as a 3-D feature.

Steve and Dan Altiere, who wrote the fourth installment of Fox's "Dr. Dolittle" franchise, will write the script, to be based around the recently released "Legend of Spyro" trilogy of games, which is considered a relaunch of the entire series.

No director has yet been hired.

aaaaaand another near dead gaming franchise that no cares about and is no longer even relevant.

Oh well, at least if the screw up, it doesn't taint a franchise people actually care about, so whatever.

Oh Dear God

Spyro? Of all games...

And the writers wrote the fourth installment of Dr. Dolittle? Didn't even know there were four movies...

Although I love the Spyro games.....I'm not sure how well it will work as a movie....except for kids.

I use to love those games.
Same goes for Crash.
I always wanted them to have cartoons like sonic nad mario did.
Well I guess I sort of got my wish.

this could be incredibly trippy if done correctly.

 

[SuperBatman]

It could be a CGI movie for all we know.

I saw this report on G4....meh.

if it's a CG movie done in the same vein as Toy Story or Monsters, Inc. it could be a great family movie. I bet that's how it'll go, and people will complain that it's too kiddy...like they expected Spyro to be a drug lord who burns people to death and eats them or something...
