What the Flock? Angry Birds Game May Migrate to Hollywood.

Did you know it was possible to milk birds? For a demonstration, just keep an eye on Finnish mobile game maker Rovio as it tries to parlay its Angry Birds puzzler from a worldwide iPhone and iPad megahit into a major cross-platform franchise: Toys, comics, TV shows, even a full-length feature film. Given the difficulty of making a big score in the app market, Rovio intends to squeeze every last bit out of its winner. “It doesn’t make sense (to produce a slate of different games) when you have a hit of any caliber,” CEO Mikael Hed told Daily Variety.

About Voices

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.

We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
