“As fans of Mattel and their iconic brands, we’re looking forward to bringing Magic 8 Ball, one of their most celebrated toys, to life, and playing against expectations in doing so,” said Jason Blum, founder, Blumhouse Productions. “We look forward to partnering with Mattel Films to put this project on the fast track to the big screen and create a memorable experience for moviegoers.”
The film will be directed by Jeff Wadlow, whose previous work includes Kick-Ass 2 and Truth or Dare. He will write the script with Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach.
