Kim Kardashian in Talks to Star in BRATZ Movie for Amazon MGM
Kim Kardashian is in talks with Amazon MGM to star in their upcoming Bratz movie. After a competitive bidding battle, the studio has landed the package for a live-action movie revolving around the Bratz doll line. Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick are writing the script, and while a deal is not closed, sources say Kardashian is being eyed to play the villain in the project.
Erik Feig and Julia Hammer will produce for Picturestart with Kardashian, and Jason and Jasmin Larian producing for MGA. MGA’s Isaac Larian will executive produce.
Following the success of the Barbie movie in 2023, studios have been on the lookout for iconic toys that could have a similar pop on the big screen, and Bratz falls right in line as something that could play well at a global level, though I don’t think another film in this genre could have the affect the Barbie movie did.
The Bratz toy line has sold more than 200 million dolls to date globally and has the highest social media engagement across all platforms of any toy brand in the world.
Kardashian has landed several Hollywood projects lately, both on the producing and acting fronts. She is currently producing and starring the Netflix comedy The Fifth Wheel, which has Eva Longoria directing and Paula Pell penning the script.
On the TV front, she is set to star in Hulu’s Ryan Murphy drama series All Is Fair and is also producing and appearing in the Hulu series Group Chat. That series stars La La Anthony and shoots this fall.
