Sims: The Movie

Electronic Arts Inc. has sold the movie rights for "The Sims," the best-selling computer game, of all time to 20th Century Fox, Variety said on Friday.

"The Sims" is one of EA's biggest franchises and, including sequels and expansions such as "The Sims: House Party" and "The Sims: Vacation," has sold nearly 85 million copies since it debuted seven years ago.

It's official. They are 100% tapped out. Projects I'm waiting for in 2008:

Index: the movie after the book but before the cover
Trailers: 40 previews of itself in a recurscive death spiral
Big Mirror: The silver screen will be replaced with a very large mirror, slightly tilted so that the audience can see itself until they leave.
Projectionists' Day Off: the bulb is fired up but no film is run through. If I were you, I'd wait for the sequel-- it has big guys who sit in the back and make shadow puppets. Damn: sorry, I just spoiled it.
Transformers: more than meets the eye. God they can earn extra-screwup points by putting some man-child like Shia Leboeuf in the lead.

When the last owner of the channel had to cut back they nailed the morning show. Then a new owner rolled out a morning show in markets like Victoria. They dusted off the format and started doing the show again. Monday morning, I popped into a Thrifty's where Maggie Cox was wrapping up her live spot. There she was amid more lights than a Hollywood premier and more cables than a Frankenstein movie. All of her gear and personal effects filled a shopping buggy. I felt a little bit of pity. When I see the same people in front of the camera at 6AM and 5PM and 11PM, I think: "Where is Labour Relations? How can these people be forced to pepper a 17 hour day with three newscasts?"
