A movie based on EA’s The Sims is in the works, with Oscar-winner Margot Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap, attached. Prolific Hollywood producer Roy Lee is involved as well, and now he’s shared some further insight into what fans can expect from the video game movie.
Speaking to The Direct, Lee said he expects the movie to be “unique.” He said it’s similar to The Lego Movie, in that when it was announced, people wondered how it would translate to the big screen. People didn’t understand until they saw it, Lee said, and a similar thing could happen for The Sims movie.
Lee produced The Lego Movie as well, along with Robbie’s blockbuster hit Barbie. “[Audiences] were probably wondering, ‘What could a Barbie movie be?’ Somewhere in between both The Lego Movie and Barbie is where The Sims movie will be,” he said.
