Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaSince she first captured kids’ hearts in the late 1980s, Polly Pocket has inspired playsets, dolls, web series and television shows.
She’s roller-skated, snowboarded, shopped, sang, and exhibited a captivating can-do attitude. Now, Ms. Pocket will be the subject of a feature film that will be written and directed by Lena Dunham, the creator of “Girls.” “Emily in Paris” star Lily Collins will put her on spin on Polly.The film version of the popular micro-doll line joins a long and intermittently distinguished line of toys-to-movies that includes the good (“Transformers,” “The Lego Movie”), the bad (“Max Steel”), and the ugly (“Battleship”).
