CUT THE ROPE Game Getting A Movie Adaptation
With an Angry Birds movie on the way, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that other mobile games are going to be making their way to the big screen soon. The latest project to attempt the jump to the big screen is based on Cut The Rope, the game which requires players to cut ropes and direct pieces of candy into the mouth of a cute creature named Om Nom.
Here's the synopsis of the film, which has the working title of Om Nom:
Om Nom tells the story of 13-year old Evan, a boy whose impulsiveness leads him to open a secret package containing a living scientific experiment – with mischievous intentions! Known only as Om Nom, this adorable creature has an insatiable appetite for everything sugary. Now free to roam, Om Nom begins to wreak havoc upon this formerly quiet town, and Evan, with his little sister Jordan in tow, must follow him on an epic adventure while avoiding a host of government agents, shady characters and other unique creatures – all of whom are looking to capture Om Nom for themselves.
Along the way, Evan and Om Nom will discover the importance of trust and patience, and how life’s accidents can sometimes lead to incredible discoveries and unforgettable moments.
Sounds like they're going for an old '80s Amblin movie vibe with this one, which might actually work depending on who they get to write and direct. I've played the game before, but I had no idea it had expanded into a comic book series and an animated web series with over 600 million views. ZeptoLab (the developer of the game) and Blockade Entertainment are shepherding this to the big screen, and we'll let you know when more info becomes available. Check out the teaser poster below.
