Popular PC Game "The Sims" Heading for the Big Screen

I guess it is true all video games can be made into movies. As to whether they should, we will have to wait and see. According to Variety, 20th Century Fox will be making a movie of the ever-popular PC game “The Sims”. Going strong for the past five years, it is the best selling game in history with $1.6 billion brought in worldwide. The picture is slated now to be a live-action version of the video game. Steve Asbell is heading things up for Fox and Rod Humble will be overseeing for Electronic Arts. Brian Lynch is said to be writing the script, but it is being tightly held under wraps.

If there have been any casting decisions, they are also being kept quiet at this point in time.

John Davis is the person who Fox has chosen to run this venture. He has most recently worked on “Norbit”, “When a Stranger Calls” and “Eragon”.

???? WTF? I think this is a must-see movie for me ... But I mean The Sims is a life simulator, in this game you create your characters... Not too god for a movie to be inspired from a game that hasn`t unique characters and unique storyline ( GTA,True Crime, Mortal Kombat. Max Payne etc. ) But still the characters + storyline is unique in TS ... So what you`ll see TS menu and some real life characters acting like sims ? :P

I`m 100% this movie will be a comedy...

And the only thing that you'll need to do is grab a computer keyboard or PS3 joystick and pretend that you're playing it. I've already seen a real-life Sims parody video on YouTube; it was a take at The Sims 2, Xbox 360 version, with a ninja holding the plumb bob thing... I lol'd at that... :lol:

Ehhh, it's hard to say what they could do, but I got a pretty good idea of what they could do.

Mortimer seems to be the main character since he was in ever Sims game...ever. He was in the original Sims game for the PC, Sims 2 and every other Sims game for the other consols except for Sims 2 for the PS2 and PSP and Sims in the City as well. So I think they'll base the storyline around him and his wife's, Bella's, disappearance and how aliens possibly upducted her.

So unless you're a big fan of the game and it's storyline, like am, you wont be able to think of a storyline. If I find any time, I'll think of a possible storyline based right from the game.

It would have to have Bella in it. I think that the movie will be set in Strangetown, with the Smith family as the main. They are conected with everyone in the town.

It should start off with Bella getting aducded by Pollutiontech and then the start up screen comes on. And it goes on from there.

But yes this movie could fail so badly.

Ugh. No. Just, no, this movie is going to suck. I mean, a game where there's a scripted story involved, a movie isn't always bad, but The Sims, much like Animal Crossing, has no goal other than to do whatever you want, like it real life.

Oh and The Sims (that is, the original PC game without expansions or add-ons, is the best-selling PC game of all time, with 16 million units. The best selling game of all time is Super Mario Brothers. for the NES.

Yes, but, did you ever herd of he Sims 2 Stories? It has the story. Maybe that's is on what is EA pointing on.

I love the games but when I read this news the other day, I almost puked in my chair. This is going to be one of the dumbest movies ever made, I just know it. Especially if they have the mood bars and shit all on the screen.

Have you guys ever even played the game before? If you have you obviously never paid attention to the storyline that there is. I already said some possibilities on what the storyline to the movie could be about and I don't think it'd be that bad, infact, I think it'd be a pretty good movie.

I have all of the games and it's pretty much life. They meet people, they get jobs, they have babies.....I dont want to watch a movie about life when I live life.

I also like action movies. Haha, I'd like to see what action is in this movie.

Haven't you ever paid attention to the neighbors that were already there and read their history and stuff? The Playstation Sims games have storylines that you could play through, which is what I think will be apart of the movie. You guys are just looking at what you do playing the game and not what the story is about. One of the main things that I think will be in the storyline is that

Bella never really got abducted and was really stranded at a gas station.

It was explained in the PSP version of the Sims 2.

Yeah, but I really hope they don't base it on the PSP version of the Sims 2...it sucked heaps...

Well I think they will because there was some info about the Goth and Smith family.

oh, and another thing...FIX YOUR SIG!!! It's too big(wide). :thumbsup:

It's not though :huh:

Anyways yeah it did, but it'll be wrong marketing. Base it on a PS2 or the Sims Life Stories, that'll be better.
