Margot Robbie: From Dolls To Virtual People To Produce ‘Sims’ Film
Margot Robbie attends the 96th Annual Academy Awards on March 10, 2024 in Hollywood, California.
Staying true to her word to “disappear” from acting for a while, Barbie star Margot Robbie has reportedly set her sights on her newest project to take the role of producer. Coming off the massively successful and culture-changing Barbie, Robbie’s standards remain high for her next producing role: one of the most popular video games of all time, The Sims.
The Sims was first released in 2000 and has since come out with three sequel games, countless expansions, and DLC (downloadable content) offerings. The life simulation game is one of the best-selling computer games in history. With the obvious success of turning games into films, Robbie’s production company LuckyChap is set to adapt the game for the big screen, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
For those who have never played or heard of The Sims, you make and customize your character. You also build and customize your house and can choose to do anything your heart desires. Whether it is working a job, finding a trade, hooking up with other Sims, or doing really weird stuff, the game allows players freedom to control their Sims. Also, the game famously doesn’t have their characters speak English, and instead, a gibberish Sims language, called “Simlish.” Sul Sul means “hello.” The Sims franchise has sold over 200 million copies, making over $5 billion in revenue.
Notably similar to the billion-dollar blockbuster that was Barbie, The Sims doesn’t have a specific storyline, so the sky is the limit for the film’s narrative. As we previously reported, Robbie’s production company, which Robbie runs alongside her husband, Tom Ackerly, Josey McNamara, and Sophia Kerr, will be working with Loki director Kate Herron. LuckyChap has produced films Promising Young Woman and the most recent cheeky thriller, Saltburn.

According to THR, development on a film adaptation of The Sims first began in 2007 but never got off the ground. Then, in 2019, it was reported that plans to make the adaptation were canceled by Disney after they acquired 21st Century Fox. There is no release date as of yet on when to expect The Sims movie will hit theaters.
The Most-Searched Celebrity Nudes
For some reason, famous people’s nudes are highly sought after in the age of OnlyFans. A study conducted by Swedish sex toy company LELO identified the most-wanted celebrity nudes that people are searching for online. The site used Google Keyword Planner to analyze the interest in different celebrity nude pictures and similar inquiries that were sexual in nature. In addition, the research provides information regarding which states are looking for particular celebrity images the most. Interestingly enough, the top ten most-searched celebrity nudes were all women. The company noted that in their findings, the most searched are actresses. The search count is per year, from February 2023 to February 2024.
Luka Matutinović, Lelo’s Chief Marketing Officer, said of the findings: “People always search for information regarding celebrities, mainly when they see them in films or hear about them in the media. For instance, someone like Jennifer Lawrence, who’s been in a lot of big films, might attract more interest because fans feel like they know her from her roles. This can lead people to search for more about her personal life, including private photos. It’s just human nature to be curious, especially about those constantly in the public eye.”
Some of the Most-Searched Celebrity Nudes
Kicking off the list of ten most-searched celebrity nudes is Game of Thrones‘ very own Khaleesi, Emilia Clarke. The English actress is searched 135,000 times on average, with the most interest and hits coming from Kansas. Another popular search inquiry about this actress is “Emilia Clarke Game of Thrones hot scenes.”
Another actress famous for her fantasy role is close behind, with Harry Potter alum Emma Watson taking ninth place on the list of most wanted celebrity nudes. Though she hasn’t acted since 2019’s Little Women and has no interest in acting anymore, her legacy lives on. Watson’s nudes are searched 201,000 times, with Alaska being the top hit.
Taking eighth place is an actress who gained popularity in the first two Transformers films: Megan Fox. The mother of two’s nudes are searched 247,000 times, with most inquiries being “Megan Fox OnlyFans leaked.” Though Fox does not have OnlyFans, one person is taking advantage of being told she looks just like her on the subscription site.
Scarlett Johansson holds the seventh spot on the list of most wanted celebrity nudes, garnering 250,000 online searches. As one of the highest-paid actresses in recent years, it is no surprise that the screen siren has so many searches. Most of the searches come from Rhode Island.
In sixth place, a celebrity who became famous for her sex tape is Kim Kardashian. The reality star and business tycoon’s nudes are searched 268,000 times. Another frequently searched inquiry is “Kim K for Playboy,” showing curiosity to see her in a revealing photoshoot. She posed for the magazine in 2007 and has actually expressed regret on the series finale reunion of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, advising her younger self, “I would say don’t be so trusting.”
