So, Fox is planning on turning The Sims (yes, that "The Sims") into a movie (see the Variety article here).

I guess they figure if they can turn Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill into movies, then the Sims is the next logical step, right? The only way direction I can see this going is if they make the film something in the vein of The Truman Show or Stranger than Fiction.

I am now awaiting the announcement of Tetris - The Movie.

This could be great! IF they only have balloons with symbols and no dialogue!!!

I hope it's rated R and they have the god character torture the sims like I do. Nothing better than putting The Sims in a house without any doors and starting a fire, or the other favorite pool without any stairs. I want lots of Sims sex too, complete with the nude patch.

Announcing Uwe Boll as director in 3, 2...

If this film is written entirely in Simlish, I'm there, and I don't even play The Sims.

My friend and I had an idea for a Sims movie after the first game it was released. Basically our idea was in the vein of a dark comedy/horror film in which a demonic copy of The Sims is released and a little boy starts controlling everybody in the neighborhood by playing the game.

We actually went as far as to cast people just based off the cover:



Don Rickles was going to play the old guy on the middle left.

Mel Gibson needs to make this his next project, now that he has made The Passion and Apocalypto.

Agreed.

"Deg deg!"

Sounds like a Desperate Housewives' version for The Matrix.

That would be gold!

...... part of me wants to be excited but god damn I have a bad feeling about this.

OK this is too funny . . . I just posted a spoof post talking about Uwe Bol directing another video game movie, and I almost went with The Sims (I opted for Pong instead)!

There was going to be one. It was supposed to be Jerry Bruckheimer's first film in the director's chair but the whole project fell apart due to "creative differences". Anyhoo, here's the one sheet:

(John)Davis' most recent projects include "Norbit," "When A Stranger Calls," and "Eragon."

(Brian)Lynch scripted and helmed upcoming "Big Helium Dog," and penned "Scary Movie 3," and is managed by Benderspink.

Oh yeah, this is gonna be a winner.

Lmao John Davis and Brian Lynch should tell you how good it will be.. but this is such an awful idea lol, because it has to be simlish and that would just be odd.. Oh but add piano fire to the awesome death ways.
