Sydney Sweeney to Star in Split Fiction Movie as Madame Web

Sydney Sweeney is confirmed to star in the upcoming movie adaptation of the video game Split Fiction, directed by Jon M. Chu and co-written by Deadpool and Wolverine screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. Following its successful launch, having sold over 2 million copies in just a week, interest in the film adaptation has surged. The plot revolves around the two sisters, Mio and Zoe, although it's yet to be determined which character Sweeney will portray. The burgeoning success of video game adaptations in Hollywood indicates a promising future for this project, as studios engage in a bidding war for the film rights. In addition to Split Fiction, another Hazelight game, It Takes Two, is also being considered for a movie adaptation.

Split Fiction is a co-op adventure game designed by Hazelight Studios, featuring dynamic gameplay that shifts between various genres. Players control two sisters navigating challenges that strengthen their bond and test their problem-solving skills. The game's engaging mechanics and narrative have contributed to its rapid success in the gaming market.

Video game adaptations have seen renewed interest in Hollywood recently, influenced by the success of films like Sonic the Hedgehog. With Hazelight's track record for creating captivating titles like It Takes Two and now Split Fiction, it's clear that there is a demand for well-crafted video game stories on the big screen. As the film industry seeks to capitalize on this trend, adaptation projects continue to emerge, blending the excitement of gaming with cinematic storytelling.
