[dropcap style=”style1″]S[/dropcap]ony Pictures and Rovio today revealed the first full-length trailer for next summer’s film adaptation of the popular iOS game “Angry Birds”.

Vietgame.asia – First announced back in 2012, the movie stars Jason Sudeikis as Red, Josh Gad as Chuck, Danny McBride as Bomb, and Bill Hader as the villainous pig Leonard. According to the film’s producer John Cohen, the movie aims to answer the question posed most to Rovio by the game’s fans, “Why are these birds so angry?”

The original Angry Birds has 2.8 billion downloads across all types of platforms, according to developer Rovio. However, being a hit that big doesn’t ensure the movie will succeed. Even the mighty Super Mario Bros. became a stinker when turned into a film.

This is the first time a gaming series that created its name on mobile has made the big-screen transition, so maybe that difference can help The Angry Birds Movie avoid the mediocre fate of Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, and Street Fighter (both of them). The trailer, which looks about as bland as most CG animated films, doesn’t exactly instill any confidence in us.

The franchise really needs a hit, too. Angry Birds 2 came out in July and has struggled to become the same mega-success as the original. Rovio is certainly hoping that a theatrical adaptation can help keep this brand popular.

The movie is set to debut in theaters on July 1, 2016. When it opens, The Angry Birds Movie will premiere about seven years after the release of the original game.
