Lena Dunham will write and direct a live-action Polly Pocket film for Mattel, MGM and Dunham’s production company Good Thing Going, with Lily Collins set to star as Polly.
The film will follow a young girl and a pocket-sized woman who form a friendship. Collins will also produce.“Polly Pocket was responsible for countless hours of childhood escapism for me – Polly gave me a tiny world of magic and autonomy to narrate, so it’s pretty poetic to be tackling these same ideas now as a director collaborating with the brilliant Lily Collins, Robbie Brenner, Mattel and MGM.
I’m so thrilled to bring to bear both my love of this historic property and also my deep-seated belief that young women need smart playful films that speak to them without.
