Sydney Sweeney Boards Another Video Game Adaptation With Jon M. Chu in the Director’s Chair
Split Fiction, one of this year’s hottest new video games, is coming to the big screen. Sydney Sweeney is attached to the new project, making it the second video game adaptation she’s signed on for in recent weeks. Variety reports that Wicked helmer Jon M. Chu will direct the fantasy-science fiction adventure.
The game, which was released in March, follows two authors, Mio Hudson and Zoe Foster, who participate in a test of a new simulation device that allows them to enter their own stories. A glitch puts Mio and Zoe into the same simulation, and they have to travel through a dangerous blend of Mio’s science fiction story with Zoe’s fantasy epic before they travel deep into their own psyches to face their buried traumas. Sweeney will play one of the two leads, but it has yet to be decided which one she will play. It’s the second video game adaptation the ubiquitous actor has recently been attached to; earlier this week, she was reported to be involved in an adaptation of the high-octane racing arcade game OutRun, which will be directed by Michael Bay.
