Producer Says The Sims Movie Will Land Between The Lego Movie and Barbie

Roy Lee frames the live-action adaptation’s tone as a distinctive blend that aims to make sense once audiences see it.

Overview

  • Lee describes the project as "unique," comparing its approach to how The Lego Movie and Barbie surprised viewers after release.
  • The film is in active development with Electronic Arts, Amazon MGM Studios, and Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap producing.
  • Kate Herron is attached to direct and co-write with Briony Redman, continuing the team assembled last year.
  • EA executive Kate Gorman has signaled fidelity to the games, citing Simlish dialogue and details like pools without ladders.
  • No casting or release date has been announced, as EA continues to expand The Sims 4 with no current plans for The Sims 5.
