Sydney Sweeney: “Split Fiction”

Actress Sydney Sweeney (“The Housemaid”) is attached to the developing “Split Fiction” video game movie adaptation, to be directed by John M. Chu, following two creatives who become imprisoned in the world of their own stories, when plugged into a machine designed to steal ideas:

‘…’Mio Hudson’ and ‘Zoe Foster’ are writers invited by ‘Rader Publishing’ to test out an experimental simulation device.

“While the eccentric Zoe sees this as an opportunity to be published as a real author, the reserved Mio is only interested in the payoff.

“‘‘The Machine’ allows occupants to experience the stories they submit as reality. As the Machine starts up, each occupant is encased in a bubble and placed into suspended animation while they experience their story. 

“Suspicious of the experiment and the ‘CEO’ of Rader's motives, Mio panics and tries to back out. But she is forced to stay, and a scuffle breaks out, leading her to fall into Zoe’s bubble…”

Split Fiction was released March 6, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S and June 5, 2025 for Nintendo Switch 2.
