    Cliff Notes – Polly Pocket movie confirmed with major Hollywood actresses on board

    • A Polly Pocket movie is officially in development, with Lily Collins starring as the titular character and Reese Witherspoon’s production company co-developing the project alongside Mattel Studios and Amazon MGM Studios.

    • The film’s screenplay is being crafted by screenwriters Jordan Weiss and Dan Brier, while Lena Dunham was initially set to direct before stepping down, leaving Collins to also take on a producing role.

    • The plot centres around a young girl who befriends a pocket-sized woman, aiming to modernise the beloved toy franchise that first launched in the 1980s, amidst a wave of toy-to-film adaptations following the success of the Barbie movie.

    A Polly Pocket movie has been confirmed, with Emily in Paris star Lily Collins taking on the lead role, and Reese Witherspoon co-developing the project.

    Barbie was an Oscar-winning smash hit when it was released in 2023, and the world hasn’t quite managed to recover from the buzz.

    Since its release, studios have been desperately trying to recreate this success, but a Polly Pocket movie has been in the works for several years by the creators of the Barbie film.

    In a new step forward in the project, Mattel Studios’ Polly Pocket movie with Amazon MGM Studios has now confirmed screenwriters Jordan Weiss and Dan Brier are penning the script, Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine is also co-developing the action feature, and Lily Collins is set to star as Polly herself, per Deadline.

    It was previously confirmed that Lena Dunham would be directing the project, with Lily in the lead role.

    But despite Lena dropping out, Lily has stayed on the project, also producing the film.

    In 2021, when her association with the project was first confirmed, Lily said: ‘I’m so excited to partner with this inspiring powerhouse of a team. Developing this project with Robbie, Lena, Mattel and MGM to reintroduce Polly in a fun, modern way has been such a treat.

    ‘As a child who was obsessed with Polly Pocket, this is a real dream come true, and I can’t wait to bring these tiny toys to the big screen.’

    According to Deadline, the plot revolves around ‘a young girl and a pocket-sized woman who form a friendship.’

    Polly Pocket first launched in 1989 with a series of tiny collectables. The beloved miniature doll came in her own clamshell case that opened to form dollhouses and other playsets.

    In 2018, Mattel reintroduced the toy with updates as a much larger toy, spawning an animated TV specials and YouTube content.

    This is the latest in a string of movie announcements from Mattel and MGM that will bring a variety of favourite childhood toys to life.

    A Barney the Dinosaur movie produced by Daniel Kaluuya is also on its way, with a release date yet to be confirmed.

    Hot Wheels is also getting a big screen adaptation, while Vin Diesel is set to star in a Rock ‘m Sock ‘Em Robots film.
