The Sims to be made into a movie

[halofan_sd]

Apparently Fox has bought the rights to make a film based on the Electronic Arts best selling game The Sims.

I have to say I'm interested to see how they do this.

So... it'll be a soap opera where they just keep building on their house?

And presumably talking cobblers?

Its official. The bottom of the barrel has run dry, they have now resorted to lifting it up to scrape.

The Sims is boring enough to play, let alone to watch...

 

[white_and_nerdy_93]

Cant see how it will work.

 

[yellowstonedogs]

How can you base a film on Sims?

Next thing, someone's going to buy the movie rights to Microsoft Office.

cannot see a point to this .....
BUT
i'm pretty sure it would be a sitcom type movie .....
with shopping

 

[briff]

A Windows Trilogy too?

 

[Wasted Puppy]

Only way they could make it interesting is if they incorporated Sim City and have lots of edgy cities and lots of natural disasters! lol

Drew Carey did it years ago

 

[eugendes]

Thats hillarious!!

I miss that show..

 

[timetogo]

I think the new Lord of the Rings online game could make a good film .... Sorry I will get my coat, it sounded funnier in my head!

 

[o no its mo]

to be fair i could see this working. in the same vein that bruce almighty did, having a "god" type figure?

 

[K3lly]

Having them fight over the green diamond thing would be mildly amusing.

 

[HoosierAthlete]

Yeah, i read on a site.. aintitcool? One of the users suggested a Truman Show type thing, where they figure out they're being controlled.

It could work. Depending on how it was marketed I doubt it'd appeal much to ... anyone.

 

[Scarlett Mardis]

Damn I read this and thought it meant the John Sims....

 

[mccarthy410]

I was searching for a threead on this.

The bottom of that barrel has clearly been lowered yet further still.

I thought this was a joke?!

How can you make a film out of The Sims?!
