The plumbobs will soon be in full force. Amazon MGM Studios has announced that it has officially greenlit the development of The Sims, an upcoming film based on the iconic video game franchise of the same name from Electronic Arts. Details on the film remain slim, but it features an all-star production team led by Margot Robbie, who is no stranger to success coming off the massive blockbuster Barbie film last year.
The film landed at Amazon MGM earlier this year and will be directed by Kate Herron, best known for her work directing and executive producing the Disney+ series Loki. Herron will direct from a script she wrote with Briony Redman. Robbie, who was reportedly instrumental in bringing the film to life, will produce the film for her LuckyChap entertainment banner alongside Vertigo Entertainment and Electronic Arts' The Sims team. Herron and Redman will executive produce.
Robbie is also staying busy with projects at LuckyChap; the production company recently continued its relationship with Amazon MGM for the comedy film My Old Ass starring Aubrey Plaza and Maisy Stella. The company is also working on numerous other films, including an adaptation of the comic hero Avengelyne to be directed by Olivia Wilde, as well as another adaptation of a classic game with an in-the-works Monopoly film.
