Get ready for a new cinematic adventure because the incredibly popular gremlin-faced Labubu dolls are officially getting a feature film adaptation! Chinese toy giant Pop Mart and Sony Pictures made the big announcement in a joint statement on March 19, confirming that their wildly popular character will be headlining a movie. This is a huge step for the collectible toy phenomenon, moving it from blind boxes straight to the big screen.
The project is still in its very early stages. The creative team already signals some serious ambition behind this venture. Paul King, the brilliant mind behind Wonka and the beloved Paddington films, is signed on to direct. He will also co-develop the script with Steven Levenson, who wrote the musicals Dear Evan Hansen and Tick, Tick… Boom!.
