Sydney Sweeney Cast in Split Fiction Movie from Deadpool Writers

by

As a dedicated gamer who’s been captivated by the gaming world since 2025, I can’t help but feel exhilarated about Sydney Sweeney starring in the live-action movie adaptation of “Split Fiction”! This game, which has quickly become one of the biggest hits of 2025, has left an indelible mark on gamers everywhere. The masterminds behind this incredible creation are none other than Hazelight Studios, renowned for their heartwarming cooperative games such as “A Way Out” and “It Takes Two”.

Released in March, “Split Fiction” was an instant success with record-breaking sales and rave reviews. Its popularity has only grown since then, thanks to the power of social media and its unique appeal to couples, families, and friends. The game’s innovative gameplay and endearing story have swept the world off its feet, and it seems like even non-gamers will soon get a taste of this phenomenon.

As soon as it hit the screens, the movie “Split Fiction” was quickly given the go-ahead for production. Back then, there were no specifics about the writers, directors, actors, or even the studio involved, but it was evident that this was a highly sought-after project in Hollywood. Thanks to a recent report by Variety, we now have a clearer picture of what this movie will be like. “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu is set to lead the project with a script penned by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who have written all three Deadpool films. Chu has already secured his first star for the film, casting Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney, who will also serve as an executive producer for the adaptation of “Split Fiction”. The team is currently shopping the film around to different studios in search of a suitable home. At this moment, Variety speculates that it hasn’t been decided whether Sweeney will play Mio or Zoe, although Zoe does have blonde hair and a more lively personality, which could suit Sweeney well.

It appears these swift advancements suggest that the “Split Fiction” movie could be more advanced than previously assumed and might even be a top priority for their team. Since the game was only released two months ago, yet they already have an established actor, director, and skilled writing crew, it’s plausible this project has been in development long before its launch. This is mere speculation, but there’s a chance that once they secure a studio, they might aim to start production as early as next year for a potential 2027 release. Given the scale of this game, they likely won’t want to delay bringing it to the big screen.

For individuals unfamiliar with the game “Split Fiction”, it tells the story of Zoe and Mio, two inexperienced authors who receive an invitation to a tech company under the pretense of possibly getting one of their tales published. Upon arrival, they’re placed into a device designed to bring their stories to reality, but an accident causes Zoe and Mio’s narratives to overlap slightly. The writers must now collaborate to escape this predicament. Players switch between science fiction and fantasy landscapes throughout the game, offering diverse gameplay possibilities that result in exhilarating stages.

Hazelight Studios is currently developing their next cooperative game, and in addition, a live-action film based on “It Takes Two” has also been planned. However, updates regarding this film have been scarce for quite some time now, suggesting that it may not be moving as swiftly as the upcoming “Split Fiction” movie.
