Angry Birds Flying to Rio in Movie Tie-In
Crashing onto iPhones and iPads near you.
In perhaps one of the most ironic game tie-ups in recent memory, Rovio has announced that a new edition of Angry Birds will be released to coincide with the launch of animated feature film Rio.
The film is about a domesticated Macaw called Blu who gets thrown into the wild life after being kidnapped in Rio de Janeiro. In complete contrast to Blu's meek and shy personality, Angry Birds is - if you've been living under a rock - about flinging a group of raging avians into the houses of some egg-stealing pigs.
Angry Birds Rio then, will involve similar gameplay as the cast of the original iPhone game try to rescue Blu, female protagonist Jewel, and a host of other fellow birds from their evil captors. 45 levels are planned, with downloadable stages available via future updates. It's slated for a 'smart phone and tablet' release in March 2011.

Can anyone see this being one of the worst films this year. Unless the film is more than just mindless twanging balls with beaks.
