The popular co-op adventure game «Split Fiction» is making its way to Hollywood with Sydney Sweeney set to star, as reported by Variety. Joining Sweeney in the film adaptation are director Jon M. Chu from «Wicked» and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, known for their work on «Deadpool & Wolverine.» Sweeney will also serve as an executive producer for the «Split Fiction» movie. The game revolves around two authors, Mio and Zoe, who find themselves trapped in the fictional worlds they created. It is still unclear which character Sweeney will portray in the movie.
Following the release of the video game in March, Variety announced a bidding war for the film adaptation of «Split Fiction.» Developed by Hazelight Studios, an indie studio based in Sweden, the game features split-screen combat and transitions between sci-fi and fantasy realms. The game quickly gained popularity, selling two million copies within its first week, which likely prompted the swift development of a Hollywood adaptation. The project was acquired by Story Kitchen, a studio known for adapting franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog and Tomb Raider, although a release date has not been announced yet.
