EA's 'Spore' gets Fox movie deal
EA's Spore video game will be turned into a CG-animated movie with Ice Age's Chris Wedge directing.

20th Century Fox has snapped up the rights to the title, which allows players to create their own characters and worlds and share them online with others.

"I'm always looking for unique worlds to go to in animation," Wedge told Variety. "From every perspective - visually, thematically and comedically - the world of Spore provides the potential to put something truly original on the screen."

Spore and its various off-shoots have shifted more than 3.2 million units worldwide, while over 100 million creatures have been created and uploaded to the official site.
