According to Variety the "Angry Birds" are flocking to Hollywood.

Rovio, the Finnish creator of the hit iPhone and iPad game, which has sold more than 6.5 million downloads, wants to turn the property into a major franchise that crosses over to other platforms - from TV shows and movies to toys and comicbooks.

A more limited free version has been downloaded 11 million times. An iPad version, for $4.99, has racked up 200,000 sales.

Game is launched on other platforms like Google's Android, Blackberry and Palm in the coming months. Rovio also intends to expand the game to handheld videogame systems like Nintendo's DS, Sony's PSP Go and consoles like the PlayStation 3.
