Mattel's American Girl doll gets its own live-action movie following 'Barbie' success
Mattel is developing a live-action film based on its American Girl doll line, with the movie being produced by Mattel Films, Paramount Pictures, and Temple Hill Entertainment. Lindsey Anderson Beer, the writer of "Pet Cemetery: Bloodlines," will write the script and produce the film. This project adds to the 14 live-action films already in development for Mattel Films, including movies based on Hot Wheels, Magic 8 Ball, Polly Pocket, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, and UNO. The American Girl doll movie was previously planned with MGM in 2019 but fell through.
