The Sims is one of the most popular and successful video game franchises in history. It is a life simulation game that has captured the hearts of many gamers since its first iteration in February 2000. After more than two decades of evolution, moving from The Sims to now progressing towards The Sims 5, this franchise may just branch out into the other side of entertainment!
All we know about The Sims movie
According to Hollywood reporter, Jeff Sneider, The Sims movie is currently in the works. Not only that, several Hollywood stars are also attached to this project, including the high-profile Margot Robbie.
Margot Robbie has been under a major spotlight the last year as she took on the role of Barbie as both the main character and the producer of the film. Barbie was a massive hit, making more than $1 billion at the box office. Following that success, Margot Robbie may be looking for a new challenge as her eyes are set on The Sims franchise. She is reportedly stepping in as a producer, though we have yet to see if she'll enter in the cast list.
Kate Herron is also set to direct The Sims movie. She has notable works under her belt, best known for directing the first season of Disney+ Loki and the second season of The Last of Us. She will also be co-writing the movie with Briony Redman.
At the time of writing, there is no cast announced for The Sims movie.
