Florence Pugh To Star in Apple Studios' DOLLY a Sci-Fi Courtroom Drama About a Killer Doll
Black Widow star Florence Pugh is set to star in a new feature film for Apple Studios titled Dolly. Apple won the rights to the film after a competitive bidding war. The story for the film is certainly interesting!
The movie is described as a sci-fi courtroom drama in which “a robotic ‘companion doll’ kills its owner and then shocks the world by claiming that she is not guilty and asking for a lawyer.”
Vanessa Taylor (The Shape of Water) and Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3) are currently writing the script and I’m curious to see how this story is going to play out! It’s such a fascinating and unique concept. It’s the kind of story we might have seen in The Twilight Zone. The film is inspired by a short story of the same name written by Elizabeth Bear. The hunt for a director to helm the project is currently on.
Apple Studios is attached to produce with Pearce also producing through Point of No Return Films, and Pugh and Taylor will also be executive producers. Pugh is a wonderful actress and this is sure to be a great project for her.
What do you think about the concept of this film?
