Say “sul sul!” to your new most-anticipated movie, as beloved gaming franchise The Sims is set to make a cinematic expansion. The zany life simulation game will be adapted into a feature-length film, following suit with recent video game adaptations like Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, and television’s The Last of Us.
Recommended VideosAs confirmed by Variety this week, Margot Robbie will act as producer for the film, with Kate Herron serving as director, having previously directed episodes of Loki and Sex Education, as well as an upcoming episode of The Last of Us season two. Herron is also set to pen the script, co-writing with actress and writer Briony Redman, who she is also working with on an upcoming episode of Doctor Who.
At the very earliest, The Sims movie will not hit theaters until 2025. According to Variety, a studio has not been confirmed for the film’s production as of yet, although Warner Bros. has been cited as an early favorite, thanks to a recent deal with Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. As soon as a studio has closed the deal, a release date will be soon to follow.
So far, no casting has been announced for The Sims movie — which comes as no surprise, as the project has only recently been announced. While Margot Robbie is attached to the project as a producer, that does not necessarily mean she will star in the film, as Robbie has previously produced the films Saltburn, Promising Young Woman, and the Netflix series Maid.
If The Sims bears any similarity to Margot’s recent global hit, Barbie, it is unlikely that Margot would take on a starring role in the film – although perhaps she could swing a cameo as famous townie Summer Holiday?
