Baby Owl Lands Lead Role in ‘Angry Birds’ Movie

Baby Owl Lands Lead Role in ‘Angry Birds’ Movie

Though a film based on the hit mobile game isn’t likely to hit theaters before 2014, sources close to ‘Angry Birds’ creator Rovio confirm that the movie’s lead has already been cast.  

While many speculated that the unusually wingless birds would likely require computer animation, Rovio was adamant that live action was the only way to go.  After a 2-month worldwide search for an avian with the proper body type and necessary “angry spunkiness,” the role has been awarded to Sam, an adorable baby owl who definitely looks the part.  

The Fluffington Post is also told that Sam plans to do all his own stunts.
