1905 Movie Network News In view of the success of "Barbie" at the box office and word of mouth, Mattel is embarking on another of its representative female dolls on the screen. It is understood that Mattel is in talks with Paramount to adapt "American Girl" into a movie.
Currently, the film is in the early stages of development, with Lindsay Anderson Beale ("Pet Graveyard 2", "Serra Burges is Wastewood") writing the script and serving as a producer. Created by Mattel Pictures, Paramount, and Temple Hill Entertainment, the story is yet to be written. Lindsey Anderson Beale said: "Growing up, my sister and I were both American girls. I have one, she has one. They don't feel like dolls, but real people that we can imagine ourselves in. They are historically accurate toys and accessories with beautiful and immersive backstories that are perfect for bringing to the screen. American Girl was originally a toy introduced by the Pleasant Company in 1986 and was acquired by toy giant Mattel in 1998 for $700 millionIn 2022 alone, Mattel achieved a book revenue of 10.9 billion US dollars.
American Girls are a series of 18-inch hair-combed dolls with a variety of era-appropriate costumes, originally derived from girls from all periods of American history, such as Samantha Packington, an orphan at the turn of the century, and Kit Kittridge, a little girl from the Great Depression. The series eventually shifted to more contemporary characters and allowed fans to personalize their dolls at American Girl's retail outlets. Mattel established a film and television department in 2018, and several previous works were controversial until "Barbie" ** came out of the circle. At present, there is no news about the release of the film and the actors.
