Video-game giant Electronic Arts is teaming up with Fox, Blue Sky Studios and director Chris Wedge for a computer-animated feature adaptation of Will Wright’s Spore.
Wedge, who directed previous Blue Sky releases Ice Age and Robots, is set to direct the film, according to Variety.
Wedge recently set up another animated feature film at Blue Sky, Leaf Men, and also is set to direct a live-action film for Warner Bros. called The Invention of Hugo Cabret.
Writers Greg Erb and Jason Oremland (The Princess and the Frog) have been hired to write the script based on the game, in which players create creatures and worlds and then share them with other gamers to create an entire universe.
Game creator Wright previously came up with the Sim City and The Sims video game franchises.
