    The Idea: A teenaged male's wish fulfillment story is the best way to make a movie out of The Sims.

    The Thinker: John Davis, movie producer

    The Source: A Q&A on Collider.com

    The Exchange:

    Collider.com: What is it going to take to make the really good video game movie? Cause a lot of fans out there have been less then satisfied.

    John Davis: I think we have it in The Sims. I’ll tell you why.

    Collider.com: Every one’s said that though. I’ve heard this before.

    Davis: I know, but I think we have it in The Sims. First of all, The Sims, 65 million units have been sold, the most successful video game ever. Right? Ever.

    Collider.com: How will this translate to being a great movie?
