Film "Split Fiction" Announces Lead Actor and Director
Hey there!
Time for some exciting news, folks! Remember that co-op adventure game, "Split Fiction," from Hazelight Studios? Well, it's about to make its way to the silver screen! Cue the drumroll!
Turns out, our director for this cinematic journey is none other than Jon M. Chu of Wicked fame. Starring opposite him is the captivating Sydney Sweeney, fresh from her stint in Madame Web and the upcoming Gundam movie.
Variety dished the deets that Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the brains behind Deadpool and Wolverine, are working on the screenplay. Sweeney will also step up to the plate as an executive producer, just like she's doing for the adaptation of Outrun.
But here's the catch – we don't know yet if Sweeney will be bringing Mio or Zoe to life on-screen. The game's story revolves around these two leads, with Mio, the sci-fi enthusiast, and Zoe, the creative fantasy-loving young woman. They both find themselves in a mixed-up story world after a mysterious book publisher's device brings their tales to life. If you haven't played it, it's been a hit since its March release and will undoubtedly stay in the spotlight throughout the year, knocking socks off left and right!
With Sweeney and Chu strapped in with projects like Euphoria, Wicked: For Good, and Oh, the Places You'll Go!, it might take a bit of time before we can hop into that movie theatre for a Split Fiction screening.
Since we've got you hooked, here's a little more scoop: stay tuned for updates on Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, the future of DC Universe on film and TV, and all things Doctor Who. Let the adventure continue!
