The story could go in any direction!
Everybody's favourite video game, The Sims, is set to be heading to the silver screen, with Margot Robbie's production company behind bringing the film to life.
Electronic Arts (EA), who are the publishers of the classic game, will be involved in the creative process of the film.
Kate Herron, who is best known for being at the helm of Loki, will direct the movie and co-write with Briony Redman, with the duo recently working together on a script for a Doctor Who episode.
Herron served as the executive producer and director of Loki season 1, as well as director on a handful of episodes of Netflix's Sex Education.
Redman is a BAFTA award winning writer whose work includes Run Toward Them and Forget Me Not.

The first Sims game was released in 2000 and has gone on to become a household name and brand, with multiple versions available across gaming platforms and more than 200 million copies sold.
At its core, The Sims is a simulation game in which players can play as a Sim with different skills, relationships and personality traits.
There is no real narrative to The Sims, with players being in control of their Sims, so there isn't much to note about what the film could be about.
Along with Robbie, Josey McNamara and Tom Ackerley will also produce with Vertigo Entertainment's Roy Lee.
