Kim Kardashian to Play Villain in New Bratz Movie After 'Barbie' Success
  • Amazon MGM Studios has secured the rights to produce a live-action movie based on the popular Bratz doll line, with Kim Kardashian being considered for a key role as the villain.

  • This project comes in the wake of the massive success of the 2023 film 'Barbie', which grossed $1.44 billion globally, prompting studios to pursue iconic toy lines for film adaptations.

  • The Bratz franchise, which launched in 2001, has gained renewed popularity due to nostalgia trends and has sold over 200 million units worldwide.

  • Despite its popularity, previous adaptations of Bratz, including a 2005 live-action film, did not perform well at the box office, raising questions about the potential success of this new adaptation.

  • The film will be produced by Kardashian alongside Jason Larian, Jasmin Larian, Erik Feig, and Julia Hammer, with the script written by Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick.

  • While plot details remain undisclosed, the involvement of high-profile producers and Kardashian's strong social media presence suggest significant commercial potential.

  • Kardashian's casting has sparked mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing disappointment and suggesting alternative choices.

  • Kardashian has prior acting experience, including roles in 'American Horror Story', indicating her commitment to transitioning from reality TV to scripted roles.

  • The film marks a return to the Bratz franchise, following the last film's release in 2007, although it is unclear if any cast members from that film will reprise their roles.

  • Expectations are high for the film, particularly regarding the fashion elements, as Kardashian is known for her strong style influence.

  • The project has attracted interest due to Kardashian's ties with Amazon MGM and the Bratz brand's substantial social media engagement.

  • As the film progresses, it will be interesting to see if it can replicate the success of 'Barbie' and resonate with audiences.
