The Sims will surprise its fans with a completely new project that is taking shape. The ingredients for it to be a potential future hit are there.
The Sims 4 may be 10 years old this year, but its popularity shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it’s the most played episode of the license. EA is therefore in no hurry to move on, especially if we can continue to be profitable by releasing paid DLC. The sequel will be released as officially announced, but we will come back to it at the release date. Electronic Arts is playing it safe and things won’t get any worse with the emergence of serious competitors. But the publisher’s plans go beyond the video game and the next work.
As Margot Robbie (Barbie) takes over The Sims phenomenon
The Sims 5 is not scheduled to be released immediately, and a new project may even appear before then. Last March, we learned that famous actress Margot Robbie was looking to take over the franchise to make a movie. At the time, The Hollywood Reporter said that Kate Herron, who directed Disney+ season 1 of Loki, would be behind the camera, with the assistance of Briony Redman, a screenwriter who wrote one of the episodes of the reboot of the legendary Doctor Who series. In the City of Angels, projects are made and undone at great speed, but that is not the case this time.
Amazon MGM Studios has hit the distribution jackpot The Sims Movie, produced by Margot Robbie’s company LuckyChap. And it was a real struggle because behind the scenes Netflix was involved in the case. The company with the red N even offered a significantly larger sum. But it was the 100 percent video streaming strategy that derailed the deal. The feature film “The Sims” wants to be released in theaters, and Amazon MGM Studios could provide that assurance. The other good news is that Kate Herron and Briony Redman haven’t been ruled out. They will both be involved in the project.
A future hit for this The Sims movie? After the wave Barbiealso produced by Margot Robbie’s company, the potential is there. Mattel’s “The Doll’s Adventures” has grossed well over a billion US dollars at the box office. The actress is therefore hoping for a similar triumph from the avatars in this life simulator. No release date yet and even less casting, but The Sims will be on your screens “soon”.
