Twentieth Century Fox will team with EA to produce a CG-animated feature film based on the Spore franchise.

The film will be produced by EA and Blue Sky Studios and directed by Ice Age and Robots director Chris Wedge, reports Variety.

The Spore series has racked up 3.2 million sales since debuting in September 2008, according to the report.

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

Lucy Bradshaw, VP of Spore developer Maxis, commented: "With more than 100 million unique creatures uploaded to our website, it's clear that people are passionate about the game, and it will be exciting to offer a powerful medium like film in order to expand their experience with Spore.”

Other EA properties due to make their way to the big screen include The Sims, Army Of Two, Dante’s Inferno, Dead Space and Mass Effect.

To make it clear to everyone, I AM WEIRD!

However, when it comes to video games and all things related to it, I am not.

Ha ha, exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't even have set characters to build a movie around!

Worst. Idea. Ever.
