Split Fiction's Director and Lead Actor Revealed

Rewritten Article:

Alright, here's the lowdown on the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' co-op adventure game, Split Fiction. Get ready for Jon M. Chu, director of Wicked, at the helm, and stunning actress, Sydney Sweeney, starring in the lead role - yup, the one from Madame Web.

According to the insiders at Variety, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the masterminds behind Deadpool and Wolverine, are hard at work crafting the screenplay. Sweeney will also don the producer's hat for the film, much like her recent endeavor with the yet-to-be-released Outrun adaptation. Whether she'll essay the roles of Mio or Zoe, the two protagonists of the game, remains a mystery as of now. With Sweeney being the sole star attached to the project at present, the big question is: who'll play the second lead?

Split Fiction, released in March this year, revolves around two aspiring writers – Mio, a sci-fi enthusiast, and Zoe, a fantasy girl – who get invited by a publishing house to test a magical device that brings their stories to life. But things take an unexpected turn, as they find themselves plunged into a kaleidoscope of their collective creations, from which they must escape before being stuck there forever and having their ideas stolen. The game has been a smash hit since its launch and is poised to gather even more steam throughout the year, making it a ripe pick for adaptation.

Between juggling multiple projects, Sweeney's shooting another season of Euphoria and starring in the Gundam movie, while Chu is busy directing Wicked: For Good and 2028's Oh, the Places You'll Go!. So, it looks like it'll be a while before Split Fiction graces our big screens.
