Margot Robbie Teams Up with LuckyChap and Vertigo for 'The Sims' Film
A film adaptation of the life simulation video game "The Sims" is currently in development, with production led by LuckyChap Entertainment and Vertigo Entertainment. The project involves Margot Robbie, not only in a production role but also as a potential star in the film. She will be producing alongside Josey McNamara, Tom Ackerley, and Roy Lee.
The creative team for the adaptation includes Kate Herron, who will direct, and Briony Redman, who will co-write the screenplay with Herron. Herron is known for her directorial work on the first season of Marvel's "Loki." This marks another step in Robbie's production career following her work on projects like the Netflix miniseries "Maid."
The film will be part of the broader "Sim" series that originated with Will Wright's "SimCity" in 1989. "The Sims," which is the focus of the upcoming film, has sold over 200 million copies since its inception in 2000, making it one of the best-selling video game franchises. Details on the storyline and cast have yet to be disclosed, and no release date has been set. LuckyChap Entertainment secured a multi-year, first-look film deal with Warner Bros. Studio, emphasizing the production company's growing presence in the industry.
