Movie Split Fiction Announces Lead Actress and Director
Heyy there! Let's dish about a cool upcoming flick adaptation, shall we? Split Fiction, the beloved co-op adventure game from Hazelight Studios, is about to hit the silver screen, and the crew is shaping up nicely. A-lister Jon M. Chu (Wicked) is helming the project as director, while the lovely Sydney Sweeney (who's currently slaying it in Euphoria and the Gundam movie) will take the lead role. But here's the twist—it's still undecided whether she'll be playing Mio or Zoe, the game's leading ladies.
According to Variety, the screenplay was penned by the dynamic duo, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (the powerhouse behind Deadpool & Wolverine). Sweeney is also lined up as an executive producer, like she is for the Outrun adaptation. Guess we'll just have to wait and see who she'll bring to life on the big screen.
If you haven't played Split Fiction yet, let me give you the lowdown—two writers, Mio and Zoe, are invited by a publisher to test a device that brings their stories to life. Instead, they end up trapped in a simulated real-world mashup of their stories and must find a way out before they lose their creativity (and the publisher swipes their ideas). Critically acclaimed and doing well on the sales chart since its release, Split Fiction has all the makings of a blockbuster.
The movie is in the works, but with both Sweeney and Chu juggling several projects (whew, talk about multitasking!), it might take a while for Split Fiction to finally grace our screens.

The upcoming movie adaptation of the co-op adventure game Split Fiction promises an exciting blend of movies, technology, and entertainment, as it is set to be directed by Jon M. Chu, known for projects like Wicked and Crazy Rich Asians. According to Variety, the screenplay was written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who have previously penned successful movies like Deadpool and Wolverine. Gizmodo and io9 are likely to be among the outlets keeping a close eye on this promising venture, as it could potentially be a major hit, given the critical acclaim and sales success of the game.
