FarmVille may be coming to a theater near you

Annoying Facebook game FarmVille may be coming to a theater near you, reports IGN.

“Toy Story” screenwriters Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen hinted to the movie news outlet that they are at work on a script for a FarmVille film.

“We’re in conversations with Zynga to do something with one of their brands,” the writers share. “Can’t really say too much on that front yet, but ‘Old MacDonald’ didn’t have a factory, if you get our drift.”

 

Zynga is the social network game developer responsible for FarmVille, an interactive game involving virtual farm management chores.

According to the Los Angeles Times, FarmVille, once the most popular game on Facebook, is now ranked third, after The Sims Social. Zynga’s CityVille is currently the No. 1 game.

FarmVille was launched in 2009, and at its peak nearly 32.5 million people played the game in a single day.

Do you want to see a FarmVille movie, or should this phenomenon stay on Facebook?
