Kim Kardashian is set to star as the villain in Amazon MGM's live-action 'Bratz' movie, which is part of a growing trend of toy-based films following the success of 'Barbie'. The film's plot details are currently undisclosed, but it aims to capitalize on the popularity of the Bratz brand, which has sold over 200 million dolls. Kardashian, known for her reality TV and business ventures, is expanding her acting portfolio with this project.
Amazon MGM Studios is developing a live-action 'Bratz' movie with Kim Kardashian eyed to star as the villain, following a competitive bidding process. The project is produced by MGA Entertainment and Picturestart, with scriptwriters Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick. The film aims to capitalize on the toy line's global popularity, similar to the success of the Barbie movie, though plot details are currently unknown.
CBS Studios has acquired the rights to develop a TV series based on the book "You Don't Own Me: How Mattel V. MGA Entertainment Exposed Barbie's Dark Side" by Orly Lobel. The book explores the parallel journeys of Barbie creator Ruth Handler and Bratz creator Carter Bryant, delving into the dark side of the doll wars and the cut-throat world of toys. The series will follow the brilliant but tortured creators of Barbie and Bratz, who change the world with their dolls but nearly destroy themselves in the process.
Bratz is facing backlash for releasing a Kylie Jenner doll with a skin tone that fans claim is "too dark." The collaboration between the beauty mogul and the toy company has been criticized as a disappointment, with some accusing Kylie of blackfishing. The doll collection features iconic fashion moments from Kylie's life, but fans have expressed concern that the doll's skin tone does not accurately represent the real Kylie. This is the first-ever collaboration between Bratz and a celebrity in its 22-year history.
