MONSTER HIGH Toy Line Coming to the Big Screen
Via: THR
My daughters love the Monster High toy line! They have a pretty big collection of them, so they were crazy excited to hear that the toys are going to get a big screen adaptation.
The film is being written and produced by TV producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who are behind shows such as Gossip Girl and The O.C.. It seems like the perfect film project for them, as I'm sure it will have all the drama they are used to writing, only involving monsters.
The Mattel toy line features the teenage children of classic monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Abominable Snowman, The Creature From the Black Lagoon, the Wolfman, and more. Basically, the film will follow the trials and tribulations of these high school monster students.
There was a previous attempt to turn Monster High into a film, and it was set up as a musical to be written by Smallville writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. This new version is not going to be a musical.
I'm not sure how this movie will turn out, but there's a huge market out there for it, so I imagine it will be fairly successful.
