It appears the movie industry is coming for every gaming IP it can get its hands on at the moment because it has been confirmed EA's life simulator series The Sims will be turned into a film. Margot Robbie's production firm is attached, and the film will be produced and co-written by Kate Herron of Loki fame. EA serves in a «creative and producing capacity».
LuckyChap, a production company Margot Robbie is a part of that made last year's Barbie, is overseeing the production of The Sims. Before that, PlayStation fans can get to grips with Kate Herron's producing qualities as she's signed up to direct some episodes in the second season of HBO's The Last of Us TV adaptation.
