The Animation Picture Co. has optioned feature film rights to the Spyro the Dragon video game franchise from Sierra Ent., a division of Vivendi Games, and plans to make a CG-animated feature film based on the property. The company is seeking a director to work from a script by the Altiere brothers (Dr. Dolittle 4), who based the screenplay on the Legend of Spyro trilogy of games.
Since its debut in 1998, the Spyro game franchise has generated more than $525 million in sales and shipped more than 20 million units worldwide.
