The “Harriet the Spy” actress wrote “Toy Monster” around 2015, he said, adding that by 2017, “two of the biggest studios” – “one huge classic studio” and “one huge streamer” – were interested in the project.“It was being championed by a studio head, and they had two A-list directors they were going to,” Tebo continued, adding that Trachtenberg was also slated to act in the movie. “Michelle was going to play one of the minor roles, and she was adamant about A-list directing and acting talent,” he revealed.“Michelle was going to play one of the minor roles and she was adamant about A-list directing and acting talent,” Tebo revealed.
