It’s rumored that a FarmVille movie based on the Facebook game is in the works. I bet the angry birds will be furious if Farmville gets a movie before they do!
The good news is that Hollywood cannot mess up the plot for a FarmVille movie, because, well, there is no plot. Pron has more of a storyline.
Perhaps the writers are planning to sow an Orwellian “Animal Farm” theme hoping to harvest some meaning from an otherwise meaningless activity. Naaaaw!
Sure making a movie is risky business. In contrast to a new app or a website, movies are a huge upfront investment. So big production companies tend to invest in movies based on popular trends to help assure a return on investment. But could sexy vampires or superheroes save a FarmVille movie? Doubt it!
And since Farmville was only popular for only about three day on Facebook, perhaps the writers will move on to greener pastures sparing us from the agony of FarmVille on the big screen.
However, if a FarmVille movie does crop-up, let’s not be too hasty in predicting its demise. After a decade of American Idol we have learned that you don’t have to be good to win. You just need a following.
So, would you go see a FarmVille movie?
