The Sims

[<ankh>]

Have you ever thought about how totally awesome it would be to have a live action movie version of The Sims? Yeah, me neither. But apparently, it seems like a perfectly logical idea to Fox and producer John Davis.

According to Variety.com, Fox has acquired the rights to make a movie based on the record-breaking PC game franchise. Davis will produce, while Brian Lynch will handle the script. Lynch is the writer for the upcoming TV series "Dodge" and movie "Big Helium Dog."

Sims Studio head Rod Humble will be managing the creative property for the game's publisher, Electronic Arts. "'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."

Well, we're not so sure about that last part, but it should certainly be interesting to see how this turns out.

umm

im at a loss as to how they could do a 'live action' sims...

[Xest]

1. Stick a video camera in a street for 2hrs
2. Send the films to cinemas
3. Charge £6 for entrance
4. Profit!

Will they have someone in the film enter a swimming pool, then the ladder mysteriously disappears so they swim until they die?

Or the toilet door vanishes and they end up pooping all over the bathroom before expiring.

It would work best as a horror film.

or have no cooking skill but they must cook/light fires repeatedly with no fire extinguisher/alarm

[Clovista]

You used to torture your sims too then?

[Lieva]

still do
I make them have kids

seriously tho
I have made 4 tramps. sat them on a lot with only 3 park benches and hit fast forward.

They get very nasty and argumentative after the first 24 hours and within 48hrs theyre all dead.
So not very realistic.
Appt you can live 3 days without water soo
