OK it may not be as exciting as I made it sound but it definitely is interesting
The VERY popular PC/video game 'THE SIMS' will be made into a live action movie Variety reports

Fox brings 'SIMS' to bigscreen
Film will be a live-action version
By PETER GILSTRAP

20th Century Fox has acquired feature rights to the life simulation computer game "The SIMS" from Electronic Arts, and has set project up with Fox-based John Davis.
The five-year-old franchise is the best selling PC game in history, with worldwide sales topping 85 million, bringing in over $1.6 billion. Pic will be a live-action version.

Steve Asbell is overseeing the project for Fox with SIMS Studio head Rod Humble managing the creative property for Electronic Arts. Brian Lynch will script; story is under wraps with talent yet to be named.

"'The SIMS has done an interactive version of an old story, which is what it's like to have infinite power and how do you deal with it," said Humble. "Given that that's an old story, you can imagine how easily that would translate to traditional story telling."

Davis' most recent projects include "Norbit," "When A Stranger Calls," and "Eragon."

Lynch scripted and helmed upcoming "Big Helium Dog," and penned "Scary Movie 3," and is managed by Benderspink.

I don't know about this one I LOVE 'The Sims' games but Lynch and Davis are pretty bad the even more bizarre thing is that the characters on film WILL SPEAK SIMLISH :lol I suppose you can't have a Sims movie without their gibberish language I have known about this news for a while now but I thought I outta share I know there has to be Sims fans out there or as I like to call them Simies :lol j/k The Film is scheduled for a 2009 release

how in the hell do you make a "live action" movie about the freaking Sims? possibly the most retarded boring game ever. Your playing a game where you live a fake life.... Doing stuff you could do in your real life.... like clean your house or feed the dog or take out the trash.... IN A FREAKING GAME!!

Ummmm...yeah, it'd be more exciting if the guy writing it hadn't penned Norbit, When A Stranger Calls and Eragon. Fuck. With a resume like that it's just better to tell people you're an income tax collector.

It's probably gonna end up a Truman Show rip-off.

:lmao... where to start?... Original material: Sims game = Most boring piece of shit in existence. Writer: Brilliant mastermind behind gems like Norbit, When A Stranger Calls and Eragon = ... seriously, Norbit, when a stranger calls and Eragon.

This movie is going to be so bad, it will scar people for life :lol

Right under Street Fighter...

John Claude van Damme as Guile & Raul Juila as Bison = FAIL.

I'll only see this if it's in Simlish with subtitles.

There's actually some pretty good satirical potential to the concept, but given the resumes of Lynch and Davis I doubt it will be realized.

Sad that Street Fighter is actually above them, and above that is Resident Evil... I never thought I'd actually think that Resident Evil or Street Fighter was better when compared to crap below it... :-(

If you know how to play the game it's pretty entertaining. For instance, one of my Sims didn't get ready for work in time and got fired. So I made him stand on the front lawn until he wet himself and passed out face down in a puddle of his own urine. If they can find a way to translate that magic onto the big screen they'll have a hit on their hands.

Maybe we need one of those futuristic interactive movies

As is walling a sim into a room so they can't get out.

Removing the ladder after they've jumped into the pool so they drown.

Putting the urn containing your dead sim into the house so that he/she can haunt the rest of the family at night.

This movie cannot be more boring that watching the spurs play the cavs in the finals.
