The Sims film with Margot Robbie and director Kate Herron in preparation?
As THR reports, The Sims, celebrated as one of the most beloved video game franchises, is being adapted into a feature film. Kate Herron, renowned for her direction in the inaugural season of Loki, is set to direct the film. Herron will team up with Briony Redman to develop the script. Margot Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap, will handle production, building on her success with Barbie. Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment will also produce, while Electronic Arts, the publisher of The Sims, will be involved creatively and as a production partner.
The Sims movie, touted as a highly desirable project, is currently being pitched to various studios and streaming platforms, although its final destination is still uncertain. With the project still in its early stages, no casting or plot details have been released. Bringing The Sims to the big screen presents a unique challenge, but there is potential for a creative adaptation that embraces the game’s familiar elements. Margot Robbie could take inspiration from the successful unconventional approach to the Barbie adaptation. Notably, The Sims offers a virtual representation of individuals living in the home of their dreams.
Previous efforts aimed to bring The Sims to the big screen. In 2007, 20th Century Studios obtained the rights in hopes of producing a film, but the project stalled in development without making substantial progress. Although it remained in the background for years, it was eventually abandoned after Disney acquired the rights from 21st Century Fox in 2019. Nonetheless, with recent triumphs of video game films such as The Super Movie Mario Bros., The Sims might now have the impetus to receive its own film adaptation.
