JJ Abrams discusses his Hot Wheels movie, describing it as "emotional and grounded." Despite being in development since 2003, the project is now gaining momentum, with Dalton Leeb and Nicholas Jacobson-Larson working on the script. In a recent interview, Abrams expressed his excitement about finally getting the film off the ground and revealed his vision for the movie.
For a lengthy period, our discussions with Mattel regarding Hot Wheels have been ongoing, yet we have struggled to identify that elusive element which truly captures the essence of what Hot Wheels, that iconic brand, truly deserves. However, we have finally devised an concept that is not only emotionally compelling but also firmly rooted in reality and rawness.
Barbie Could Provide The Blueprint For The Hot Wheels Movie
Mattel has plans for 45 more movies based on their toys, in addition to their successful Barbie franchise. Some of the toy brands that will be adapted for the big screen include American Girl, Magic 8 Ball, Major Matt Mason, Matchbox, Masters of the Universe, Polly Pocket, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, Uno, and View-Master. Various production companies are involved in these projects, and Mattel Films is overseeing them all to ensure a cohesive approach. One notable upcoming movie is a Barney film targeted at adults, described as an "A24-type" production, as shared by Mattel Film executive Kevin McKeon.
If Greta Gerwig's Barbie film proves to be successful, as it is expected to, it could serve as a model for future Mattel movies, such as Hot Wheels. Similar to Barbie, Hot Wheels is a well-known brand that holds significant nostalgic appeal for individuals who grew up playing with the toys. Unlike previous adaptations of Barbie and Hot Wheels, which were animated and targeted at children, Gerwig's live-action movie is catered towards adults and appears to possess genuine emotional depth and thought-provoking aspects. From Abrams' initial description, it appears that his Hot Wheels film might aim to emulate Barbie's approach.
