Sydney Sweeney is set to star in a film adaptation of hit video game "Split Fiction" with Jon M. Chu directing, Variety has learned. The script for the movie is being written by "Deadpool & Wolverine" screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

The "Split Fiction" film will be produced by Mike Goldberg and Dmitri M. Johnson's Story Kitchen (formerly dj2 Entertainment), which is taking out the talent package now to studios, and Chu's Electric Somewhere. Sweeney is set to executive produce.

From developer Hazelight Studios and publisher Electronic Arts, "Split Fiction" blends fantasy and science fiction, following 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, "Split Fiction" is a co-op adventure game that features gameplay mechanics involving split-screen combat, platforming challenges and differing abilities for each character.

Sources tell Variety it has yet to be decided which lead role Sweeney will be playing: Zoe or Mio.

 

[jshackles]

I hear she's got some major developments

 

[Loomy]

I'm guessing she's going to be Mio. Now they need an overly optimistic person to play Zoe. I bet it's going to be Awkwafina

Story Kitchen

These guys are making all the video game adaptations it seems.

Yet somehow I don't think I'm going to get tired of seeing her in everything.

Not sure what the reason(s) could be.

I think you and others still might, especially if she decides to go down the path of overexposure. Everyone eventually got tired of Megan Fox.

As of now though her and her agent are doing stellar work of landing roles.

 

[consoul]

She would have been a natural for It Takes Two.

[Shaki12345]

Imagine only wanting to see her in movies because her breasts and cute face.

Go watch porn or go outside.

*Another horrible idea for a movie that will hopefully bomb badly.

 

[consoul]

Go watch porn or go outside.

Protip: Don't do both at once.

 

[Shaki12345]

Pro tip: don't watch porn, do porn.

Hey now, she has a nice butt too.

 

[MrCunningham]

First it was the OutRun movie... now this. OK?

 

[Shaki12345]

Hey now, she has a nice butt too.

So what. Lots of girls have nice butts and they are out there for you to conquer.

 

[Garibaldi]

I'd be up for some couch co-op whenever she fancies...

 

[Buggy Loop]

Fucking hell the things I would do with that woman

 

[The Cockatrice]

Now cast her as Mio and we're done.

 

[bitbydeath]

So what. Lots of girls have nice butts and they are out there for you to conquer.

My wife said no.

 

[Shaki12345]

My wife said no.

You don't need her permission. It's your life.

 

[WellSheet]

Pro tip: don't watch porn, do porn.

No, fuck that: BE PORN

 

[E-Cat]

Fap thread? Fap thread.

I would like to split her fictions

They're real, and they're spec-tacular

You don't need her permission. It's your life.

It's hotter to have permission. Jerry knows what's up

It's much hotter if you can do whatever the F YOU want in life.

Freedom.

 

[AJUMP23]

This is a great casting choice. her acting range will really add to the character and the story being told.

 

[E-Cat]

It's much hotter if you can do whatever the F YOU want in life.

Freedom.

However, one of those things should not be entering into a contract where doing whatever the f you want is forbidden -- unless you're an asshole.

 

[Shaki12345]

However, one of those things should not be entering into a contract where doing whatever the f you want is forbidden -- unless you're an asshole.

The words "contract" and "love" are a match made in hell.

You don't need permission from anyone and you don't need a contract to love someone and be happy. It only makes it worse.

Freedom.

 

[ElFenomeno]

Why are these hot actresses being cast in movies and meanwhile we poor gaming chaps get ugly activists and normie looking protagonists?

Agreed, but he clearly is in an exclusive relationship. You should not hurt people wantonly

 

[Shaki12345]

Why are these hot actresses being cast in movies and meanwhile we poor gaming chaps get ugly activists and normie looking protagonists?

Because the boardroom decides.

 

[E-Cat]

This is a great casting choice. her acting range will really add to the character and the story being told.

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

Oh, c'mon, that thing just came out. Hollywood is so desperate it's almost pathetic.

 

[WellSheet]

Fucking hell the things I would do with that woman

I would eat the corn outta her shit.

It's much hotter if you can do whatever the F YOU want in life.

Freedom.

[DeepEnigma]

Can never not un-see Kevin Durand from Stargate SG-1 every time I see her face, especially early on in her career. Always thought they were related somehow

 

[sendit]

You don't need her permission. It's your life.

Shannon Sharpe, is that you?

 

[Shaki12345]

Shannon Sharpe, is that you?

Nah, I am a man who makes his own decisions.

What the F does SS have to do with anything?
