Sorry, we’re making a movie about those demon toys now?!

Say it with me, friends: Not everything needs to be a movie! In fact, many things could stand not being a movie. High on that list is, in my humble opinion, the Labubu, those horrifying little monsters you see swinging on the bag of every other hip person on the street. Unfortunately, it seems like Sony Pictures does not share that sentiment.

Variety announced that Sony Pictures has picked up the screen rights to the Chinese doll brand with the aim of making a movie with the potential of a franchise, should it be received well. The deal was just signed this past week, so there is currently nobody attached to the project yet. It is also too early to know if the movie will be live-action, animated, or a mix of the two à la Where the Wild Things Are. Though, if they do that, get Arcade Fire again.
