The Sims (film)

The Sims (Working title) is a live action film currently in pre-production. The film is based on the top selling PC series The Sims.

On 25 May 2007, it was announced that The Sims film rights had been purchased by 20th Century Fox. Not much is known yet about the upcoming film. It will be written by Brian Lynch, the man responsible for writing movies such as Scary Movie 3 and writing/directing the 1999 film Big Helium Dog. The film will be produced by John Davis, responsible for films such as Norbit and Eragon.

It is rumored to be a drama, with the plot about a girl named Andie who moves into Pleasantview, and meets people like the mysterious Goth Family, Don Lothario, and the struggling Newbies. Andie is then terrified to discover that they are all being ruled by a greater power, and are in a game played by millions of people worldwide. However this rumor is more than likely to be false because the only source that supports this theory is The Internet Movie Database, where users can edit the synopsis of movies. Also the user who uploaded the synopsis of The Sims Movie account has been deleted further reducing it's creditability.
