God, More Video Game Movies? Yes: 'Spore: The Movie'

Spore, the revolutionary video game known best for being first to allow nearly limitless ways to create your own sentient penis, will, of course, be a movie soon. From Variety:

Twentieth Century Fox has paired up with Electronic Arts to turn the publisher's popular "Spore" game into an animated creature feature, with "Ice Age's" Chris Wedge attached to helm.

Greg Erb and Jason Oremland, who penned Disney's upcoming "The Princess and the Frog" and Ben Stiller pic "The Return of King Doug" at Paramount, will write the script for the "Spore" movie. It will be produced as a CG-animated toon by EA and Blue Sky Studios, which is behind the studio's "Ice Age" pics, "Robots" and its next effort, "Rio."

Everybody Loves Raymond Brother will be playing whatever the hell that purple thing with the beak is.
