Those Sure Look Like The Sims' Iconic Plumbobs In This New Movie

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say the fusion of The Sims and the Sundance Film Festival has left me utterly intrigued! Seeing those distinctive “plumbob” icons in Twinless has stirred up a whirlwind of nostalgia and curiosity.

In a fresh movie set to debut at the Sundance Film Festival, it seems that the unique “plumbob” symbols from The Sims are being used. This film, titled “Twinless”, follows the story of two friends who connect in a support group designed for people who have lost their twin siblings.

The movie “Twinless” is scheduled to make its premiere within Sundance’s “U.S. Dramatic Competition.” Interestingly, Deadline has categorized it as a “dark comedy.” A snapshot from the film posted on Sundance’s social media shows actors Dylan O’Brian and James Sweeney (who is both the writer and director of this project), sporting what appear to be plumbobs attached to their heads with wires. It’s worth noting that James Sweeney previously worked on the romantic comedy “Straight Up.

In the game “The Sims,” a green, crystal-like symbol known as the plumbob signifies the Sim being controlled by the player at any given moment. This symbol is also a prominent feature in the franchise’s branding, often found in the logos of the games. The role of the plumbob within the game “Twinless” remains unclear, but it might appear as part of their Halloween costumes or other related items.

TopMob has reached out to EA for comment and has not received a response by time of publishing.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about our beloved game, The Sims! It seems that a movie adaptation is in the pipeline, with the talented Margot Robbie producing and Kate Herron (Loki director) at the helm. Amazon MGM and EA officially announced the film’s development in September 2024, although details about the plot are being kept under lock and key for now. However, an EA representative has hinted that our beloved “freezer bunny” mascot character will make an appearance!
