Okay, so I was digging through this piece about EA—I mean, Electronic Arts—and their wild plan to turn Apex Legends into a movie or maybe a TV show. Yep, you heard me right. Guess they’re not busy enough counting their money, huh?
Anyway, I stumbled on this Variety article where Laura Miele, who’s kind of a big deal at EA Entertainment, spills the beans. She’s all like, “We’re super pumped to tell these stories in a new way.” Not her exact words, but it was something like that. You know how execs talk—fancy, but you get the gist. She was basically saying, “Hey, we’ve got this epic backstory for these characters, and gamers only see a slice of it.” Or maybe that’s just my take.
Now, here’s a twist I didn’t expect: EA and Amazon’s MGM Studios are already cooking up a movie about The Sims! Yeah, that game where you torture virtual folks (or maybe that’s just me). And guess who’s involved? Margot Robbie’s production company. So, like, are we getting a Harley Quinn Sim makeover, or what?
Laura also rambled a bit about tech and innovation, which, honestly, sounded like a bunch of buzzwords. But she threw in something shiny about crossing the streams—movies boosting games and vice versa. Kind of like when you find a fry at the bottom of your bag after you thought you ate them all. Okay, maybe not exactly the same, but you get it, right?
So, EA’s got some ideas, apparently. Maybe it’ll be epic, or maybe it’ll just be… meh. Either way, it’s happening. Whether that’s good or bad… well, that’s for future me to worry about.
