Reports about a movie based on The Sims have been circulating for a while now, but Electronic Arts has just officially announced that a big-screen adaptation of the hit game series is in the works.

 

In a lengthy blog post detailing some of its upcoming projects, EA announced today that Amazon MGM Studios will be the studio behind a film based on The Sims cowritten by Briony Redman and Kate Herron, who will also direct. Previously, the duo wrote together for the new Doctor Who series, and Herron directed the entirety of Loki’s first season for Disney Plus.

 

EA did not share any story details or tease when the movie might hit theaters, but the fact that the project is being coproduced by Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap suggests that it might have a certain Barbie quality to it when it ultimately releases. It’s easier to imagine The Sims lending itself to a compelling movie than, say, Monopoly — another game-inspired feature LuckyChap is currently producing.
