Film adaptation of Split Fiction, a game created by Hazelight, is under consideration
In the world of gaming, Split Fiction, developed by Hazelight Studios, has been making waves since its launch. The game, played entirely in co-op, features aspiring writers Mio and Zoe as main characters.
The game, which centres around a machine that steals ideas and traps Mio in Zoe's fantasy story and Zoe in Mio's sci-fi adventure, has been a commercial success. Split Fiction sold over 1 million copies on its launch day, and within a week, the number of copies sold had grown to 2 million.
This success has not gone unnoticed in Hollywood, where video game adaptations are increasingly popular. EA, the publisher of Split Fiction, has announced plans to bring the game to film and television adaptations.
Story Kitchen, known for its work on Tomb Raider and Sonic movie adaptations, is assembling a cast, writer, and director for Split Fiction. However, at the time of writing, neither Story Kitchen nor Hazelight Studios or its founder/creative director Josef Fares have commented on the film adaptation.
The potential film adaptation of Split Fiction could be fun, as the game's unique concept of characters having to work together to get out of each other's stories offers a fresh take on the genre.
Meanwhile, another game developed by Hazelight Studios, It Takes Two, is also being adapted for film or TV. Multiple top studios are currently in a bidding war for the game's rights, indicating the high demand for video game adaptations in Hollywood.
The information provided suggests a trend of video game adaptations in Hollywood, with a show based on Mass Effect coming to Prime Video. The strong reviews received by Split Fiction upon its release further support the notion that video game adaptations could make for entertaining films.
Despite the lack of official announcements regarding the cast, writers, or director for the film project Split Fiction, the anticipation for this adaptation is growing. As more details become available, fans of the game and movie enthusiasts alike will eagerly await updates on this exciting development.
