‘Monster High’ Movie Gets M3GAN Director Gerard Johnstone—Shocking New Horror Twist!

Director Gerard Johnstone continues his fascination with dolls as he takes on the live-action Monster High movie from Mattel, Universal Pictures, and Akiva Goldsman’s Weed Road. Similar to his chilling horror franchise where a lifelike AI doll is the central character, this upcoming project shares some traits with the popular toy line. They are both designed as companions for children, they both have an inclination towards fashion, and they are undeniably monstrous (one being slightly more violent). Therefore, it’s clear that this project is in capable hands.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that, as reported by Variety, the Monster High movie will spin an all-new tale inspired by Mattel’s beloved line of dolls. These dolls, each unique in design and character, are portrayed as the offspring of monsters and mythical creatures, living a life far removed from the plastic perfection of Barbie Land. Robbie Brenner, President and Chief Content Officer at Mattel Studios, sees limitless storytelling possibilities for this ghoulishly stylish crew to embark on hair-raising adventures filled with spooktacular fun.

Gerard’s distinctive perspective and ability to blend genres make him an ideal choice for this movie. Our goal at Mattel Studios is to collaborate with leading artists to create innovative, surprising narratives from our extensive collection of brands. The beloved franchise, Monster High, offers countless storytelling opportunities, and we are ecstatic about the prospect of reinterpreting it in a captivating, monster-themed manner with Gerard at the helm.

Johnstone commented on the doll-focused project, saying, “Barbie showed Mattel Studios isn’t shy about swinging for the fences with their intellectual property. For me, what’s thrilling about Monster High is the chance to explore various legendary monster tales. Working alongside Akiva, Robbie, and Universal Pictures on this is a dream come true. I can hardly wait for everyone to dive into the peculiar, enchanting universe of our upcoming misfit magic.
