Sydney Sweeney Boards Adaptation Of 2025's Potential GOTY, 'Split/Fiction'

Sydney Sweeney, a leading Hollywood name, is set to star in the film adaptation of the video game Split/Fiction, taking one of the two lead roles. This follows recent reports linking her to a Gundam movie and a OutRun film produced by her, and directed by Michael Bay. While her role in OutRun isn't confirmed, her involvement in Split/Fiction appears finalized.

Adding to the project's high profile is director Jon M. Chu, known for Crazy Rich Asians and Wicked. This film is likely his next project following the release of Wicked Part 2.

The rapid development and significant attention surrounding Split/Fiction are largely due to Hazelight Studios' success. Their 2021 Game of the Year winner, It Takes Two, paved the way for this adaptation. Split/Fiction, another cooperative story game, currently shares the title of highest-reviewed game of 2025 (92 Metascore) with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, placing it firmly in contention for Game of the Year. While facing stiff competition from titles like Clair Obscur and the anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6, its exceptional reviews significantly boost its chances.

Hollywood's current trend of video game adaptations, with successes like Fallout, The Last of Us, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Minecraft, creates a favorable environment for Split/Fiction. Although not as widely recognized as these titles, the game's unique blend of sci-fi and fantasy elements offers strong cinematic potential, albeit at a potentially high production cost.

While a release date remains unannounced, the involvement of a major star and acclaimed director suggests a swift production timeline.
