Kim Kardashian to star in live-action 'Bratz' film
Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is reportedly in talks to star in a live-action film based on the popular Bratz fashion doll toy line.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project is being developed by Amazon MGM, with Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick penning the script.
The Bratz toy line, launched in 2001, has reportedly sold over 200 million dolls worldwide. A previous live-action film adaptation, released in 2007, underperformed at the box office.
Despite this, the brand remains popular, and the new film aims to bring the characters to life for a modern audience.
Kardashian has been busy with various projects, including her recent appearance in the 12th season of American Horror Story.
She is currently filming Ryan Murphy's Hulu legal drama series 'All's Fair', which she also produces. Additionally, she is set to star and produce the forthcoming Netflix comedy movie 'The 5th Wheel'.
Charlie Polinger and Lucy McKendrick are writing the script for the live-action Bratz film. Polinger has marked his writing and directorial debut with 'The Plague', which screened at Cannes earlier this year.
McKendrick is also set to write, direct, and star in the feature film Fangs, alongside Toni Collette and Joel Edgerton.

Kareena Kapoor Says Her Bond With Sanjay Leela Bhansali Is ‘Love And War': 'We Are Always Fluctuating'
Kareena Kapoor opens up about her complex bond with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, calling it 'love and war.' Here's what she told Vicky Kaushal in an interview. Kareena Kapoor Khan has always worn her heart on her sleeve, and in a recent interview, she delivered another gem that's now making waves across Bollywood circles. While speaking with actor Vicky Kaushal for The Hollywood Reporter, Kareena opened up about her long and layered relationship with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali—describing it in one pithy, poetic line: 'It is love and war between him and I." The moment came during a conversation about Vicky's upcoming film Love & War, directed by Bhansali and co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. As Vicky spoke about his experience working with the auteur, Kareena interjected with a smile and said, 'I am waiting to see you in the Bhansali film. Of course, he is the Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and Love and War is actually me and Sanjay. You can tell him that. He will understand. We have love and war." Caught off-guard, Vicky chuckled and asked, 'What is it now? Love or war?" Kareena responded with a laugh, 'We are always fluctuating." Her remark not only hinted at an emotional push-and-pull but also revived conversations about the duo's professional history—marked by anticipation, creative disagreements, and a series of near-collaborations that never fully came to fruition. Kareena was initially considered for the role of Paro in Bhansali's Devdas—a part that eventually went to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Years later, she was again linked to Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, but exited the project before filming began. Despite the missed opportunities, both have maintained a quiet admiration for each other's craft, albeit from a distance. Bhansali, known for his opulent storytelling and emotional depth, is now returning to the romance genre with Love & War. The film is slated for a 2026 release and marks his first major theatrical venture since the Netflix series Heeramandi. With a lead cast featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal, the film is poised to be another cinematic epic, steeped in themes of passion, sacrifice, and emotional tumult.
