The Legend of Spyro 3D Animated Film
On October 25, 2007, it was announced that the film rights for Spyro the Dragon had been purchased by The Animation Picture Company. Daniel and Steven Altiere wrote the script, which was going to be based on the recently released The Legend of Spyro trilogy. The film was going to be titled The Legend of Spyro 3D and was planned to be made from Los Angeles, California, with animation by a South Korean Animation studio, Wonderworld Studios, alongside Universal Animation Studios. The film was planned to be produced by John Davis, Dan Chuba, Mark A.Z. Dippé, Brian Manis and Ash Shah, and distributed and advertised by Velvet Octopus along with Universal Studios. Mark Dippe was going to direct the film. This film was originally planned for released in theaters on Christmas 2009 for the United States and Canada, but it was delayed to April 10, 2010 for its North American release. But however, that was proven to be false. It was later confirmed by Daniel Altiere himself that the movie had been officially confirmed due to decisions made by Activision, starting with The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. That direction in which Activision decided to take was later on revealed on February 2011, to be in the form of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, which is the second reboot of the Spyro series.
Despite that a movie based on The Legend of Spyro trilogy has been confirmed after The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders: Giants, Activison has commented on the possibility of a movie and TV series, based on The Legend of Spyro and Skylanders instead. It is something that they could see themselves looking into in 2014.
