It looks like Barbie was just the beginning as Mattel has its next toy movie adventure in action, and it has already landed a director.
Skydance and Mattel Films have closed a deal with director Sam Hargrave to helm a live-action movie based on Mattel’s iconic real-world toy vehicle line Matchbox, as reported by Deadline. Hargrave, best known for directing the Netflix action franchise Extraction starring Chris Hemsworth, will be joined by Prey’s David Coggeshall and Banshee’s Jonathan Tropper, who are penning the script.
