Probably still ages away though
In case you forgot, Hazelight Studio’s excellent co-op action adventure Split Fiction is being adapted for the big screen.
Josef Fares, head of the development team and director of the game, has provided a small update on the film’s progress, and it sounds like it’s still very early days.
Speaking to Moviezine (translations per Dexerto), he says he’s seen the first finalised script:
“I got the first version of the script today but you know, there’s so much talk in Hollywood. I usually say it like this, ‘I believe it when I see it.’”
It’s not the first time he’s shared his frustration with how slow the film business moves, but knowing that a script has made it to Fares’ desk is progress at least.
Sydney Sweeney is said to star in the movie whenever it does emerge, and Fares says he’s spoken to her too. “I’ve had a meeting with her and she seems super chill,” he says, adding that she’s “hyped” for the film.
It’s probably years away, but it does seem like things are moving in the right direction.
