Amazon MGM in Talks to Acquire “Split Fiction” For Movie Adaptation Featuring Sydney Sweeney

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve just heard some thrilling news! It seems MGM is reportedly taking over Split Fiction, the video game we all love, and they’re planning to bring it to life on the big screen. The rumored deal value? A whopping $2 million! And here’s an exciting twist: Amazon is already gearing up for a movie adaptation with Sydney Sweeney stepping into a leading role. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

Amazon Beats Sony

A few months ago, the competition to buy Split Fiction was still unresolved, with Amazon and MGM in the running, and Sony expressing interest as well. However, it appears that Amazon is nearing a deal closure, as reported by Variety. The film, set to feature Sydney Sweeney – popular for her roles in Euphoria and Everything Sucks! – and Jon M. Chu as director, has an intriguing script penned by Paul Wernick & Rhett Reese, the duo behind Deadpool and Wolverine’s screenplays.

What Is Split Fiction?

In the collaborative game Split Fiction, you assume the roles of Mio Hudson or Zoe Foster, both aspiring writers aiming for stardom. They decide to approach a publishing company called Rader Publishing to test a novel device. This device immerses the writers into their own submitted stories as if they were living in them. While Zoe is thrilled at the prospect of becoming a published author, Mio, initially only concerned about the monetary reward, becomes anxious. Unfortunately, an error occurs and Mio ends up in Zoe’s narrative bubble, forcing them to cooperate and collaborate to find their way out of this fabricated reality, as they navigate through each other’s tales.

In this game, every level introduces a distinct, often unrepeatable gameplay feature. For instance, you might control dragons in one level, while using a laser sword and a whip in another. Moreover, the skills of the two characters vary in each stage, requiring cooperation between them to make progress as they utilize their unique abilities accordingly.

Why don’t you ask someone to join you, let’s try this game out together! If you’re eager to experience the notorious level named “Laser Purgatory,” we’ve prepared a guide to help navigate through it without getting too frustrated. Enjoy!

Beyond Sweeney assuming a writer’s role, it’s been confirmed that Dmitri M. Johnson and Mike Goldberg from Story Kitchen will co-produce the project, along with Timothy I. Stevenson serving as executive producer. Moreover, Josef Fares and Oskar Wolontis from Hazelight Studios will also contribute to the creative direction, seeing as it’s their game.

Hey there! As a gaming enthusiast, I’m curious about an upcoming role. From what I gather, it seems there are two potential writers for Sydney Sweeney’s next character. Here’s my take: Which of these two talented scribes do you think will bring out the best in Sydney, and who would be the perfect fit for the other writer’s project?
