Lily Collins to headline film on Mattel's doll line Polly Pocket 

Following the success of Barbie, the recently released live-action film based on Mattel's iconic doll, the toy company has planned to make a film on Polly Pocket, a toy line of dolls and accessories hailing from the same manufacturer.

The upcoming project will be attached to MGM and will star Emily in Paris actor Lily Collins in the lead role, Variety has learnt. Expected to be a family comedy, the film will be helmed by Lena Dunham.

Speaking about the upcoming project, Robbie Brenner, who is in charge of films being developed in Mattel and also produced Barbie, said that the script is in place and added, "It’s been an amazing collaboration. Lena is so collaborative and rolls up her sleeves and really likes to roll around in notes and listen. She’s incredible. Lily is so smart and so specific and so productorial. It’s just been an incredible collaboration, so we are thrilled about it. Hopefully, we’ll be making that at some point in the future.”

Meanwhile, Barbie which is currently running successfully at the box office, stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the Stereotypical Barbie and Ken respectively. The film was helmed by Greta Gerwig.
