Following reports a 'Split Fiction' movie was in the works, the game's creator Josef Fares has denied any knowledge of the project.
'Split Fiction' creator Josef Fares has cast doubt on speculation that a movie adaptation of the game is in the works.
It was recently reported by Variety that the Hazelight Studios title was being shopping around Hollywood – with "multiple top studios" said to be interested in the project - but Fares has denied knowledge that a 'Split Fiction' film is in development.
Speaking to Variety about the report, he said: "You know what I say? I believe it when I see it.
"Sometimes there’s a lot of talks, but nothing happens. So we will see."
In the outlet's report about the supposed 'Split Fiction' flick, it was claimed Story Kitchen - a media company specialising in adapting games and other non-traditional properties for film and TV - is currently assembling the project’s writers, director, and cast as part of a package deal.
When it released last month, 'Split Fiction' proved to be a major success for Hazelight, and sold over two million copies within the first week of launch (06.03.25).
On Bluesky, the studio gushed: "'Split Fiction' has sold 2 MILLION copies in 1 WEEK!!
"Holy c***, we’re blown away! Simply amazing … Thank you to all of our new and old fans - we love how excited you are for our game!"
