Reports attach Margot Robbie to new 'Sims' movie: Here's what we know
View Date:2024-12-24 10:43:41
The "Barbie" movie proved anything could be made into a successful film.
Margot Robbie is set to produce a movie based off "The Sims" video game series, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.
Since 2000, the life-simulation franchise has released computer games where players can create people, design their home and oversee their career and family.
With the game's lacking a direct plot, the "Sims" movie leaves much room for creative interpretation similar to Greta Gerwig's award-winning summer blockbuster. Robbie, who produced and starred in "Barbie," is not one to shy from bold projects.
Here's what we know so far about the project.
Who is directing the Sims movie?
"Loki" director Kate Herron is set to direct the upcoming "Sims" movie, per THR and Variety.
In addition to executive producing a Marvel Disney+ series, Herron is a director for the season two of HBO's "The Last of Us," the Emmy-winning video game adaptation.
Herron will co-write the movie with Briony Redman who she recently worked with on a "Doctor Who" episode, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Who else is involved?
Robbie's production company LuckyChap will partner with Vertigo Entertainment to produce the film. Among the producers are LuckyChap's Tom Ackerley, Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr as well as Vertigo's Roy Lee and Miri Yoon.
Electronic Arts, the franchise's publisher, will also be involved with the film's creative and production decisions, per THR.
What is the Sims about?
Instead following a plot, Sims users play as multiple avatars with various personality traits, skills and relationships. Players are responsible for managing human needs from hunger, comfort, hygiene, bladder and social battery.
The latest game "Sims 4" released in 2014 and improved character-creation options, housebuilding tools and added new emotion and personality systems.
