‘Monster High’ Live-Action Movie Taps ‘M3GAN’ Director Gerard Johnstone
Gerard Johnstone will direct the live-action "Monster High" film from Mattel, Universal Pictures and Akiva Goldsman's Weed Road banner.
A standout voice in genre filmmaking, Johnstone is also the creator of the cult-favorite haunted house comedy “Housebound” and the award-winning satirical series “The Jaquie Brown Diaries.” “’Monster High’ is delightfully personal to me — my daughters grew up loving the dolls and what they represent,” said Goldsman, who is also a producer on Mattel Studios’ “Major Matt Mason” starring Tom Hanks. Mattel Studios has announced 15 films in development including “American Girl,” “Barney,” “Bob the Builder,” “Hot Wheels,” “Magic 8 Ball,” “Major Matt Mason,” “Monster High,” “Polly Pocket,” “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots,” “Thomas & Friends,” “UNO,” “View-Master,” “Whac-A-Mole” and “Wishbone,” as well as “Christmas Balloon,” a holiday family drama based on all-new IP.
