Sydney Sweeney Has Signed On for Another Video Game Adaptation

Earlier this week, we reported that Sydney Sweeney was teaming up with Michael Bay to create an adaptation of the popular arcade/video game OutRun. While Bay is scheduled to direct the film, Sweeney will produce it from a script by Jayson Rothwell. While Sweeney is planning to serve as a producer only on that project, it seems another video game adaptation has caught her eye.

On Thursday, Variety reported that 27-year-old actress—who just happens to be one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars—has signed on to play the lead in an adaptation of the video game Split Fiction, which she will also executive produce. And they’ve lined up a stellar team to bring the game to life, including director Jon M. Chu (Wicked, In the Heights, Crazy Rich Asians) and scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who penned all of the Deadpool movies alongside Ryan Reynolds.

The game mixes fantasy and sci-fi to follow the adventures of two authors, Mio and Zoe, who somehow become a part of their written worlds. Sources reported the details to Variety directly, but noted it wasn’t clear which role Sweeney would play: Mio or Zoe.

Sweeney, who is currently filming the third season of HBO’s Euphoria, which is set to arrive in 2026, has a jam-packed production schedule. In addition to Echo Valley with Julianne Moore and The Housemaid alongside Amanda Seyfried, Sweeney will take on the role of Hollywood celebrity Kim Novak in Colman Domingo’s Scandalous! and professional boxer Christy Martin in an untitled biopic.
