Did you really need a Sims movie in your life? Probably not, when you think about it. But then again, did you ever think that you'd be enthralled by playing the game in the first place? Or of watching shows like Big Brother that channel the same sort of entertainment factor?

Probably not either, but we live in a world of vanity and obscene fascination with the banalities of other people's lives (if we didn't, Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't be at all wealthy) and Fox saw the potential WAY back in 2007 to make a film.

When it was announced, Scary Movie 3 writer Brian Lynch was attached to write, which wasn't the worst call because that movie is legitimately funny. But now the project has gone to the big video game movie graveyard in the sky along with Mega Man, Assassin's Creed 2, and the new Hitman. Shame.
