20th Century Fox have picked up the rights to make a movie based on The Sims, proving once and for all that when it comes to film rights, movie studios are looking at a franchises' bottom line and nothing else. No director or producer has been named, but Brian Lynch will be writing. EA's Sims boss Rod Humble:
The SIMS has done an interactive version of an old story, which is what it's like to have infinite power and how do you deal with it. Given that that's an old story, you can imagine how easily that would translate to traditional story telling.
Rod. Come on. You're not even kidding yourself with that rubbish, let alone the rest of us. The ONLY way this movie would work was if it was about a kid trapped inside a room with no doors as he slowly eats and shits himself to death. And I can't see that one picking up the necessary PG13 rating. Luke Plunkett Fox brings 'SIMS' to bigscreen [Variety, thanks Zizzy!]
