EA wants The Sims film to have Barbie's impact
EA has officially announced a film adaptation of The Sims is in the works and aims for it to have an impact like the Barbie film.
The film will be produced by Barbie actress Margot Robbie’s production company LuckyChap, with Loki director Kate Herron at the helm.
In an interview with Variety, EA’s vice president and general manager of The Sims Kate Gorman discussed the company’s plans for the film and the inclusion of fan-favourite Easter Eggs.
“What I will tell you is it’s very much rooted in The Sims universe,” said Gorman. “And what we want is to have a truly authentic Sims experience brought to a theatrical release. So what you’ll see from us is that we have been wanting to get this right. We wanted the right partners and to make an impact the size of something like a Barbie movie is exactly what we want.
