電影版《憤怒的小鳥》確定開拍

Game creator Rovio confirmed that a film of the iPhone hit Angry Birds is in development, as it announced that 400 million people had downloaded the game.
　　遊戲開發者羅維奧證實，有關火爆的iPhone遊戲《憤怒的小鳥》的電影正在開發。同時，他公佈已經有4億人下載了這款遊戲。

The story of this game is quite interesting. In order to revenge pigs who stole birds’ eggs, these birds try to attack pig’s building with their own bodies as bullets. In the game, players use catapults to fire infuriated birds at pigs hiding inside buildings made of planks.

這款遊戲的故事相當有趣，爲了報復偷走鳥蛋的肥豬們，鳥兒以自己的身體爲武器，彷彿炮彈一樣去攻擊肥豬們的堡壘。在遊戲中，玩家使用彈弩發射被激怒的小鳥，擊打那些藏在厚木板建成的建築物中的豬。

Rovio said that a new bird will be launched in-game for Halloween - and even offered a tantalising glimpse of the small part of new Angry Bird’s on his Facebook..

羅維奧說將會爲萬聖節版遊戲中推出一隻新的小鳥，他甚至在Facebook上提供一小部分誘人的新小鳥的身體。

Speaking at the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco, Rovio also said that Angry Birds is being played for 300 million minutes per day worldwide.

羅維奧舊金山Web2.0峯會上發表演講。他還說，世界範圍內的人們每天加起來有3億分鐘在玩《憤怒的小鳥》。

The film, to be produced in conjunction with Marvel - will explore the 'emotional connection' gamers have with Angry Birds, a Marvel executive told Hollywood trade magazine Variety this year.

今年，一位驚奇漫畫公司的執行官告訴好萊塢貿易雜誌《Variety》說，這部電影將與驚奇公司聯合製作，會探究玩家與《憤怒的小鳥》間的情感聯結，

So far, Rovio has yet to spend a single penny on marketing or advertising, reports TechCrunch, but sells a million Angry Birds toys and a million T-shirts every month.

Techcrunch報道說，到目前爲止，《憤怒的小鳥》沒有在市場營銷或者廣告上花過一分錢，然而每個月都能賣出一百萬個憤怒的小鳥玩具和一百萬件T恤。

A recent survey estimated that Britain's economy lost more than ?800 million a year to games played on smartphones such as iPhone at work. 'Gaming has gone mainstream with Angry Birds,' says Stuart Miles, founder of Britain's biggest independent gadget site Pocket Lint, 'Everybody from my three year old son to my granny can play these games. It's breaking down the barriers - gaming is no longer just something for spotty teenagers.'

一項最近的調查估計，每年英國超過8億的經濟損失是因爲工作時玩智能手機（比如iPhone）遊戲。英國最大的獨立配件網站Pocket Lint的創始人斯圖爾特·邁爾斯說：“遊戲由於憤怒的小鳥成爲主流。從我三歲的兒子到我的奶奶，所有的人都在玩這個遊戲。這打破了遊戲的壁壘——遊戲不再只是零星的青少年才能玩的了得東西。”
