Margot Robbie to Produce New Movie Inspired by 'The Sims': Report

The 'Barbie' star is set to help bring the beloved video game to the big screen.

The Sims-- which was first released in 2000 and is one of the best-selling computer games in history -- is set to be adapted for the big screen under Robbie's production banner, LuckyChap, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The production company -- which Robbie runs alongside her husband, Tom Ackerly, as well as Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr -- will be teaming up with Vertigo Entertainment and Electronic Arts, which published the original game. The Sims-- developed by Will Wright, following the success of his city building simulation game SimCity-- has often been described as a digital dollhouse, where players can build custom houses and control the lives and day-to-day activities of the people who reside inside those houses.
