Movie Split Fiction Welcomes Director and Lead Actor
Hey there, pilgrim! Got some juicy scoop for y'all today. Thought you'd want a lowdown on that game-turned-movie, "Split Fiction"!
The film, we heard rumblings about it a few weeks back, is on the fast track, and some big names have been wrangling themselves to this upcoming project.
Jon M. Chu, the man behind the hammer that forged the silver screen spectacle "Wicked", is ready to wield his directorial prowess once more. And joining him for the ride is the enigmatic Sydney Sweeney, star of the soon-to-be-released "Madame Web"! Sweeney has shimmied her way into the leading role.
If you're wondering who she'll be playing, however, we're all in the dark. According to the Variety breakers, it's anybody's guess whether she'll slip into the shoes of Mio or Zoe, the game's heroines. As of now, she's the cat's pajamas in the cast, with no others dancing into the ring.
"Split Fiction", released in March this year, takes you on a whirlwind journey where Mio, a sci-fi maven, and Zoe, a fantasy enthusiast, are invited to test a mind-blowing device. Instead, it turns into a chaotic amalgamation of their unique stories. Trapped in this virtual maze, they must find their way out before the publisher skimms their story goldmine and they're damned to eternal ink luxuriance. It's been a runaway hit since its launch, and its star is on the rise.
Both Sweeney and Chu are juggling a bunch of projects - she's twirling her tassels for "Euphoria" and lending her voice to the "Gundam" movie, while he's got "Wicked: For Good" dropping this year and will take the helm for the 2028 "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" extravaganza. So, buckle up, dear readers! It might take a spin or two before "Split Fiction" lights up the marquees.
