Movie 'Split Fiction' Announces Its Director and Lead Actor
Here's the fresh, original version:
Flick the renewable pages, y'all! Approximately a moon's cycle ago, word on the street was that Hazelight Studios' swashbuckling co-op adventure game, Split Fiction, was in film-adaptation mode. And now, we've got the lowdown on who's steering this cinematic ship and jumping onboard as the main star: Jon M. Chu (Wicked) in the captain's seat and Sydney Sweeney (Madame Web) hitting the deck as the leading lady.
Tell your mates at Variety to pour themselves a tall glass of milk because, that's right, they broke the story. The flick will be sailing on a screenplay penned by the mighty scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who've brought us blockbusters like Deadpool and Wolverine. Sweeney is also slated to executive produce this baby, as she is with the upcoming Outrun adaptation. As for which character Sweeney will be bringing to life on the silver screen, well, that's a mystery that remains undeciphered as of now [2][3][5].
Split Fiction, freshly dropped this past March, is an enchanting tale about Mio, a hardcore sci-fi fanatic, and Zoe, a spellbound fantasy enthusiast. These two wordsmiths were invited by a nosy publisher to take a spin on a neato device that'd transform their yarns into reality. Oh, how wrong they were! Instead, they wound up in a bizarre crossover of their unique stories and had to keep their wits about them to escape this simulated labyrinth before it sucked them in for good and pilfered their brilliant ideas. Since its release, this delightful game has captured the hearts of many, and its renown continues to soar higher with each passing day [1].
With Sweeney and Chu juggling plenty on their plates, you might want to crack open a calendar and count off the days before we can catch Split Fiction on the big screen. Sweeney's keeping busy shooting another season of Euphoria and inking her name for the Gundam film, while Chu's brewing up Wicked: For Good and preparing to captain Oh, the Places You'll Go! in 2028 [4]. So, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show – or better yet, become a part of it!
Craving more io9 goodness? Worry not, for we've got all your Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek release dates marked on our calendar, the skinny on the future of the DC Universe on the silver and small screens, and a comprehensive lowdown on what lies ahead for the future of Doctor Who. Stay Tooned!
