Mattel, Inc., Universal Pictures, and Oscar-winning producer, Akiva Goldsman, under his banner Weed Road, team up to deliver a live-action film of the popular animated series Monster High.
Monster High is an American fashion doll franchise created for kids between the ages of 7 and 14. It was created by Garrett Sander, a toy designer, and launched by Mattel in 2010.
The doll franchise features characters who are children of monsters like Dracula and Frankiestein’s monsters, werewolves, mummies, and zombies, all attending a high school for their kind and embarking on different adventures.
In a recent update, the president of Mattel Films, Robbie Brenner said that the film brings out the beauty in fans.
“Monster High helps fans discover the great beauty in being true to yourself and celebrates the unique sensibilities at the core of who we are as individuals.
“We’re proud to partner with Universal Pictures and the brilliant Akiva Goldsman to usher this important message to audiences worldwide,” he said.
At the onset, the dolls were the franchise’s main focus, but later on, a 2D-animated web series, 15 animated TV specials, video games, and a series of young adult novels were created.
In 2022, an animated series premiered on Nickelodeon. And now, a live-action theatrical film is on its way.
Robbie Brenner and Akiva Goldsman will be in charge of production. Overseeing the project are Kevin McKeon and Arturo Thur Dr Koos for Mattel, Greg Lessans for Weed Road, and Lexi Barta and Jacqueline Garell for Universal Pictures.
