In an exciting development for fans of the gaming world, a film adaptation of the recently launched Split Fiction is reportedly in the works. According to Variety, the creative team at Story Kitchen is currently assembling a talented cast, writers, and director for this cinematic venture. This production company has previously made waves with adaptations of popular titles, including Hazelight’s earlier success, It Takes Two, which is being developed in collaboration with Amazon. Additionally, they are working on adaptations of Toejam and Earl, Slim Rancher, and Vampire Survivors.
Hollywood’s Interest in Split Fiction
As the buzz around Split Fiction grows, offers are reportedly pouring in from multiple top Hollywood studios eager to get involved. This interest is a testament to the game’s remarkable success since its launch in March. Within just 48 hours, Split Fiction sold an impressive one million copies, and by the end of its first week, that number soared to two million. Hazelight, the studio behind the game, expressed their astonishment on Bluesky, stating, “Holy crap, we’re blown away! Simply amazing. Thank you to all of our new and old fans – we love how excited you are for our game.”
The film adaptation of It Takes Two has already garnered attention with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson attached to the project. The screenplay is being crafted by the talented duo of Pat Casey and Josh Miller, known for their work on the Sonic the Hedgehog films. As the gaming industry continues to blur the lines between interactive entertainment and traditional media, the forthcoming adaptation of Split Fiction is poised to be another thrilling chapter in this evolving narrative.
