Just the latest in an endless line of random IPs waiting to be developed for the big screen (we literally just got news of John Cena starring in a live-action take on Mattel’s Matchbox toyline), comes news that a movie based on the video game franchise The Sims is well on its way. Amazon MGM Studios announced that the film would be helmed by Kate Herron, known for directing the Disney+ series Loki. She would direct the feature from a script she is co-writing with Briony Redman.

Herron is also known for working on Sex Education and the forthcoming second season of HBO’s The Last of Us. She and Redman also co-wrote an episode for the latest Doctor Who season.

In case you’ve never encountered a video game before, you’ll know that The Sims is a series of life simulation video games. The franchise has sold nearly 200 million copies worldwide, and is one of the best-selling video game series of all time. It is also part of the larger Sim series, started by SimCity in 1989. The games are largely sandbox games (in that there are no defined goals) and the player creates virtual people, placing them in houses and guiding them through day-to-day life.

No word yet on what a movie adaptation of such a game would look like, but stay tuned.
