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.
Are you excited for the Split Fiction movie adaptation? Do you think they'll only sell theatre tickets in pairs to force you to watch it with a friend? Give us your thoughts in the comments section below.

I'll put money down that this movie never happens.
Be better if they picked a less problematic star. I'd rather the movie not be brought down simply because of her political snafus'.
I think we are reaching Sydney Sweeney saturation levels (never thought I would be saying)
Split Fiction with Sidney Sweeney: The story of two boobs cooperating.
Sidney Sweeney staring a Split Fiction movie, hell yes.
@illegalmonkey Is it her fault that she starred in an ad that people misinterpreted and then assumed that she was some sort of Nazi?
She's only "problematic" because people have made her that way. She's just an average actress, all told.
@Jackthelad93 don’t try to argue with people like that, they’ll make up excuses anyway.
@Jackthelad93 I mean...kinda.
While I think, yes, she is just an actress and shouldn't be held accountable for the inscrutable maybe-ethnocentrism of that ad. It's also worth noting that she lacked the foresight OR hindsight to properly dispel any personal association with eugenics. Which wouldn't have been that hard.
Personally, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she really didn't see the ostensible metaphor during shooting, and figured it was better not to engage with the social media spat after the fact. But she certainly didn't do herself any favors at any point.
I think there was a solid concept for a story here, even if the game didn't quite put it all together.
Hopefully this adaptation — uh...happens. Assuming it does happen, hopefully it really irons out the narrative and makes something less cartoonish and more nuanced.
@illegalmonkey Right!? But that's the world we live in nowadays. Everything is political. Jeans are political! JEANS!!!
@illegalmonkey almost all actors are political though so good luck trying to find one that isn't.
These leftivists never miss a beat.
If this thing comes put Sidney will look great in it
I still don't know if she can act. Maybe it just depends on the role.
