Sydney Sweeney Set to Star in Live-Action Split Fiction

From Game to Big Screen

Originally a cooperative action-adventure video game from Hazelight Studios—the creators of It Takes Two—Split Fiction launched on March 6, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S, earning critical acclaim and selling millions of copies in its first week. Its runaway success prompted Story Kitchen to fast-track a film adaptation.

Sydney Sweeney rose to prominence through HBO hits like Euphoria and The White Lotus. She’s also garnered praise in a variety of films for her ability to bring complex characters to life.

In the movie, Sweeney is expected to portray either Zoe Foster or Mio Hudson—though specific casting details remain under wraps. Partnering again with visual virtuoso Jon M. Chu, she’ll blend emotional depth with stunning cinematic flair.

Behind the scenes, writing duo Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool & Wolverine) are set to balance humor, high-octane action, and inner conflict, ensuring the film delivers on every front.

Following hits like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Sonic the Hedgehog, and HBO’s The Last of Us, video-game adaptations are hotter than ever. Split Fiction promises to be next year’s most anticipated entry, offering an epic fusion of heartfelt drama and thrilling action—a dual-world adventure ready to dazzle the big screen.
