Sydney Sweeney should play in adapting the split fiction film.
A film based on Hazelight’s game would be in preparation last month, with Story Kitchen, the specialist in the adaptation of the video game behind the Sonic films, which would be writers, a director and the cast.
Now, according to Variety, Split Fiction is starting to take shape, with Madame Web Sydney Sweeney signed to appear in the film. The nasty director Jon M. Chu is as a director, with the script written by Deadpool & Wolverine Screewriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Story Kitchen would now be taking this talent package at Hollywood studios for an expected auction war.
The big question is of course which sister Sweeney will play: Zoe or Mio. Variety said he had not yet been decided.
Split Fiction was only launched in March, but is another success for Hazelight and designer Josef Fares, selling more than 2 million copies in a week. It is also broken as a launch title of Nintendo Switch 2.
The IGN fiction review has returned a 9/10. We said: “A cooperative adventure designed in an expert way that freakes from one extreme genre to another, divided fiction is a roller coaster of ideas and styles of play constantly refreshed – and which is very difficult to move away.”
And it’s not the only Hazelight game with a film adaptation in preparation. The 23 million sales for sale two are also online for a film, in which Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could play.
There is of course the possibility that nothing comes from these offers of films on hazelnuts. But given the huge adaptations of success video games at the moment, Hollywood seems eager to make it work.
Last year, Story Kitchen has announced a film adaptation of the right cause of Square EnixWith the director of Blue Beetle Ángel Manuel Soto. It also adapts Drague: the film,, RoyalAnd Sleepy dogs. It even works on a toys ‘R’ US movie live.
As for Hazelight, he is already working on his next game, which he already teases.
