Synopsis
Many years have passed since the violent attack on Seattle and two years since The Kang Invasion. Superhumans are now hunted down and eliminated indiscriminately in order to preserve the peace. A group of scientists try to produce superhuman soldiers and push the limits of technology beyond what they can control. Chase Miller, a young genius handyman, one day unearths an old skeleton that has transformed into a human body and turns out to be Matt Garetty. From then on, Chase drew the wrath of the CIA, which never stopped tracking him and his family. Invictus, a superhuman bounty hunter under the orders of his creators, is about to emerge from the shadows with an army. Matt and his new and young allies, with or without powers, will be the only hope to defeat this army. What Matt doesn't know is that these powers weren't chosen by chance.

Development
On May 25, 2007, it was announced that The Sims film rights had been purchased by 20th Century Fox. At that time, not much was known about the film, besides that, it was to be written by Brian Lynch, the man responsible for writing movies such as Scary Movie 3 and writing and directing the 1999 film Big Helium Dog. The film was to be produced by John Davis, responsible for films such as Norbit and Eragon. He revealed in an interview that he is taking inspiration from John Hughes' 1985 film Weird Science for the movie adaptation.

"What they realize is that they can scan their world in, because this is the most lifelike, real Sims game ever. As they are playing this, they are all of a sudden realizing [that] what they are playing on the game is [affecting] the real world. So in effect, through the game, they [can] control their world. It's wish fulfillment, and obviously, it turns against them."

- John Davis

However, the film didn't get into production and was on hold until it was officially canceled by Disney on August 10, 2019, after acquiring 20th Century Fox. But in June 2017, two years before the cancellation of the Fox version of the film, Warner Bros. Pictures purchased the film rights for The Sims from Electronic Arts, and they're planning to make an animated feature-length film based on The Sims games under the Warner Animation Group banner.
