Barbie producer Robbie Brenner praises the script for the in-development Polly Pocket movie, hyping her collaboration with its director and star.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A Barbie movie producer praises the script for the in-development Polly Pocket film. The popular pocket-sized dolls, which have already inspired an animated TV show, have been in talks for a live-action film adaptation for several years now, after Mattel first announced a Polly Pocket movie in 2021. Lena Dunham is set to direct with Lily Collins in a starring role.
Things are looking up for the Polly Pocket movie, as per Barbie producer Robbie Brenner’s recent conversation with Variety. She runs Mattel films and is currently overseeing its in-development projects. Brenner called her work with Dunham and Collins “an amazing collaboration” and went on to praise the Polly Pocket script. Check out the full quote from Brenner below:
“First of all, they are two of my favorite ladies ever. It’s been an amazing collaboration. Lena is so collaborative and rolls up her sleeves and really likes to roll around in notes and listen. She’s incredible. Lily is so smart and so specific and so productorial. It’s just been an incredible collaboration, so we are thrilled about it. Hopefully, we’ll be making that at some point in the future.
Could Barbie Inspire A Toy Movie Phenomenon? Brenner’s statement confirms that the Polly Pocket movie is still in development, with Collins and Dunham in major creative roles. With Mattel riding the success of Barbie, however, it seems more and more likely that Polly Pocket will be fast-tracked from here on out. After a year of intense and creative marketing, Barbie was a smashing box office and critical success in its first weekend, exceeding projections by making $337 million worldwide.
Because of this, many have begun to speculate about a Barbie 2, though director Greta Gerwig recently confirmed she has no plans for one currently. Therefore, to move forward on another live-action film inspired by a popular doll is unsurprising for Mattel. In fact, Mattel is planning to go even further with their plans for toy-based content.
