It’s not the oddest game to pick to make a game out of, but Twentieth Century Fox has picked up the rights to make a movie out of EA’s Spore. The movie will be produced by Ice Age executive producer, Chris Wedge. Additionally, Greg Erb and Jason Oremland, the writers of the upcoming "The Princess and the Frog" movie from Disney, will be writing the script.

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

Spore joins ‘The Sims’ as the second EA property to get a movie in recent times; however, we certainly think the Spore games can translate better into a film than The Sims.

Spore Hero will be available on Wii and DS in Australia from October 8th.
