The DreamWorks Story: “A band of lovable yet grotesque Sporelings find themselves ostracized from Spore Village. But when an outside force threatens the town, only this hilariously ragtag band of uglified outcasts can save the day with pop culture refs and a full celebrity voice cast! Robin Williams already tapped to portray the town’s spastically spiritual guru, Ol’ Man Spore.”

The Pixar Story: “The Sporelings all live in their happy closed community, just a stone’s throw from our own. But when an outside force threatens the town, only an unexpectedly competent band of once-great leaders can save the day with dramatic use of color and important life lessons! Bob Newhart already tapped to portray the town’s clumsily deadpan spiritual guru, Ol’ Man Spore.”

So yeah, Spore is going to be a movie. A great movie.

How theatregoers will be able to make their own penis-shaped critters is anyone’s guess.

    Yeah, this is painful. Some games just aren't suited to having games. This would be like making a game out of the Sims… .oh wait.
