Mattel Wants To Give The New Monster High Movie The “Barbie” Treatment

The news was originally announced on Wednesday, June 5, 2024 — Mattel, has partnered with Universal Pictures and Academy Award-winning producer/screenwriter Akiva Goldsman under his banner, Weed Road, to develop Monster High, a live-action theatrical film featuring an original story based on the popular fashion dolls imagined as the children of legendary monsters.

Akiva Goldsman is the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of A Beautiful Mind (2001), whose critically acclaimed projects range from creator of The Crowded Room, showrunner of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022), and screenwriter of Cinderella Man, to producer of several films in the blockbuster Paranormal Activity franchise and the upcoming sequels to Constantine and I Am Legend.

I’ve been fascinated by Monster High since my daughters were obsessed with the dolls as kids. I’m thrilled to once again join forces with Robbie Brenner and our friends at Mattel to help bring this iconic property to life.

She's taken us on brand trips which I had no idea they were so lavish. She spoke her dream of creating a palette with Colourpop into existence and we were there for it. She also spoke about how much she wanted a child and when she made the pregnancy announcement I do not believe there wasn't a person on earth that was not excited for her.
