‘The Sims’ Movie From ‘Loki’ Director Kate Herron Lands at Amazon MGM

As a die-hard fan of both gaming and quality filmmaking, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming “The Sims” movie! Kate Herron, who has proven her mettle with the critically acclaimed “Loki” series on Disney+, is now set to bring this beloved video game franchise to life. With her impressive background in creating engaging narratives and breathtaking visuals, I’m confident that we’re in for a treat!


A movie based on the video game franchise The Sims is closer to coming to life.

On Tuesday, it was revealed that Amazon MGM Studios is working on a movie adaptation of the popular Electronic Arts video game franchise. The upcoming film will be directed by Kate Herron, who has previously worked on the Disney+ series “Loki”. Alongside Kate Herron, Briony Redman is writing the script for this project.

As I, a passionate gamer, hop onto the exciting journey of a new project, I’m thrilled to be part of something being crafted by LuckyChap and Vertigo Entertainment in collaboration with Electronic Arts’ talented team behind The Sims. I can hardly wait to see how things unfold under the expert guidance of Herron and Redman as executive producers.

Back in May, it was revealed by The Hollywood Reporter that a movie based on the popular video game, “The Sims,” was being developed. Originating from the larger “Sim” series which started with “SimCity” in 1989, the initial version of “The Sims” game came out in 2000 and enables players to design virtual characters, construct their homes, and guide their objectives.

The Sims movie marks the recent partnership between LuckyChap and Amazon MGM Studios, following their previous project My Old Ass, starring Aubrey Plaza, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and hit theaters this Friday after its release. These two studios also produced Saltburn last year. Moreover, LuckyChap has seen tremendous success with Warner Bros.’ film Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, which was the top-grossing movie of 2023 and earned eight Oscar nominations.

I had the incredible opportunity to serve as executive producer and director for the entire first season of Marvel Studios’ groundbreaking series, Loki, which premiered in 2021. Starring the talented Tom Hiddleston, Loki has become Marvel’s most-watched show on Disney+, captivating audiences worldwide.

Apart from his role, the director has been involved in creating episodes for shows like “Sex Education” and the upcoming second season of HBO’s “The Last of Us.” Additionally, Herron and Redman have collaborated on writing an episode for the most recent season of “Doctor Who.

Herron is managed by Casarotto Ramsay & Associates, CAA, Shelter PR, and Jackoway Austen, while Redman is represented by Casarotto Ramsay & Associates, CAA, and Jackoway Austen.
