Sydney Sweeney has signed on to star in the upcoming big screen adaptation of the hit video game "Split Fiction". The film will be directed by Jon M. Chu ("Wicked") from a script by "Deadpool & Wolverine" scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
The game, which was released on March 6th, is developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts, and follows a pair of authors, Mio and Zoe, who become trapped in the worlds they wrote. Written by director and Hazelight studio chief Josef Fares and Sebastian Johansson, the game is a co-op adventure game that features gameplay mechanics involving split-screen combat and platforming challenges while juggling each character's unique abilities. According to Hazelight, the game sold more than two million copies in the first week following its launch and attracted top Hollywood studios for a bidding war, during the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco.
The film will be produced by Mike Goldberg and Dmitri M. Johnson's Story Kitchen (formerly dj2 Entertainment), and Chu's Electric Somewhere. Sweeney is set to executive produce. Story Kitchen is one of the hottest players in the video game adaptation field, with credits including the "Sonic the Hedgehog" films, the "Tomb Raider" franchise, the upcoming "Streets of Rage" adaptation, as well as films based on Hazelight's "It Takes Two" and "ToeJam & Earl" at Amazon MGM Studios.
