A "The Sims" Movie was just scrapped by Disney at Fox Films

Oh, you mean it wasn't scrapped years ago? I know sometimes movies can do a 'wrap' and yet it still takes months, after editing, before it's released. It's a long process to be sure. But five years suggests to me somebody bought the rights just to sit on it. That happens, too. Binds the hands of those who presented the idea from taking it anywhere else.
