The next game series to transcend from a video game to the big screen will be the purple and adorable Spyro the Dragon. According to a report today in Variety, The Animation Picture Co. picked up the film rights from Sierra Entertainment and is planning to turn Spyro into a 3D CGI feature film.
Writers Steve and Dan Altiere (Dr. Dolittle 4 and 5) will pen a script based around the recent Legend of Spyro games, which are being planned as a trilogy. The most recently released game in that series was last week's Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night for the Wii, PS2, DS and GBA.
Spyro will be The Animation Picture's third feature film; the company just finished Garfield Gets Real with Garfield creator Jim Davis.
Considering that the Legend of Spyro game developers hired some big name Hollywood voice talent for their titles -- namely actors Elijah Wood, Billy West and Gary Oldman voicing Spyro, Sparx and Ignitus, respectively -- I would wager these individuals may be contacted to do the film.
As of now, no director has been hired nor does the Spyro film have a release date

Oh my wowzers.. spyro

I'm excited. big_smile I never thought it would happen. It'll be interesting how this film turns out.

OH MY GOSH!!!!! The BIG SCREEN?!?!?! As in popcorn and a large screen at the movie theater?!?! Where did you find this info?

Fungeek · Oct 28, 2007 5:35 PM

And to think, that I always though I was going to be the first to put Spyro on the big screen. Still, very...... interesting. roll

As I've said on several other Spyro forums, this news does not fill me with joy. It actually is very distressing and disappointing news in my book. I'll believe it's a good thing if it turns out to be so, but until then, I don't hold out any hope that it'll be anything less than awful.

EternalNight · Oct 29, 2007 7:30 AM

To be honest I was all excited about this when I heard the news. But in order for it to make it believible they are actually going to make the film, just like you said Razz, we need to see evidence and progress of the film being made.

Cynder Fan · Oct 29, 2007 5:26 PM

I did a search and found the news on several movie websites. Razz has a good point though. Until they give actual screenshots and advertise it on TV, then we don't have much proof to go by.

Razz · Oct 30, 2007 12:01 AM

It's not the lack of proof for this project that is distressing. It's the fact that someone wants to make a movie at all. And it's a no-name company with few movies to their credit, none of them particularly well noted. I am not convinced that it is a good idea to make a Spyro movie. In fact, I think it's a bad idea.

SpyroGirl101 · Oct 30, 2007 12:03 AM

I think Spyro has MOVIE written all over it!

Spyras the Dragon · Oct 30, 2007 12:25 AM

I agree with SpyroGirl. I think it'll make a great movie! When I heard about this, I almost cried. T-T ^^

Spyrofriend · Oct 30, 2007 11:55 PM

Its all depends on whether it is done well. The Dungeon and Dragon films sucked, even though the game itself was popular. It also depends on whether they can get much of the people voicing the characters to commit to the film.

Crashpro3 · Nov 06, 2007 4:27 AM

I hope they don't ruin this...

Super Mario Bros. was a bad movie that hit the big screen.

Spyrorocks · Nov 06, 2007 4:31 AM

I just can't imagine watching spyro on the TV without having any interaction...

Razz · Nov 06, 2007 5:16 AM

Hey, now, I happened to like the Mario movie. Not because it was good, mind, but because it was so weird and I had fangirl crushes on both John Leguizamo (Luigi) and Dennis Hopper (Koopa). Also, I thought the world set up was really neat. If you pretend it has nothing to do with the games, it's a good movie. big_smile

And SR, that is the second biggest reason why I don't like the idea of a Spyro film of any sort. It's the wrong dynamic. You go from interacting with the characters and story on a personal level to just being told what to think and feel. It just doesn't work.

SpyroxEmber · Nov 18, 2007 6:22 PM

I think a Spyro film would be perfect to get an actual feel of the epic storyline. If they actually do come out with a Spyro movie, I will definitely make sure to see if it's worthy to the games or not.

I've waited much too long for a Spyro film to drop my hopes now.

CynderRules · Nov 18, 2007 6:27 PM

CynderRules · Jan 06, 2008 1:00 AM

Well lets see, I believe the Sonic the hedgehog movie was at least somewhat funny and good.
So this might just have the chance. Also, it's going to be CG, so that puts even more of a chance that it'll be good.

corky · Mar 15, 2008 9:33 PM

this is about the movie right? if it is, im to late! everyones posted b4 me and i cant get in my ideas properly. oh well my tough luck. the spyro movie wont be very good, looking at the poster. it looks to real, rather than how it really should look. to me, it wont be a very good movie. it might be humorous, or dramatic, but it wont be very good apart from effects and stuff....and the other stuff.
