Whac-a-Mole Movie Being Developed at Mattel and TriStar
-------------------------------------------------------
You can't forget about everyone's favorite arcade game,
Whac-a-Mole, where you use a soft mallet to bop pop-up
mechanical moles. Well, TriStar Pictures and Mattel
will continue to make the TOGO game unforgettable by
developing a Whac-a-Mole movie hitting theaters.
After Barbie became the highest-grossing movie of 2023,
Mattel wasn't going to let that success go unnoticed.
They decided to stream a whole line of toy-based movies
that would allow audiences to experience some heavy
nostalgia.
So far, we've got a He-Man movie, Masters of the
Universe, starring Nicholas Galitzine and Jared Leto,
playing next summer. There's also going to be a
Matchbox movie starring John Cena. Audiences can also
look forward to films based on Thomas & Friends, Barney,
Hot Wheels, Magic 8 Ball, and more.
Variety reports that Whac-a-Mole will be the next toy
movie in development by Mattel Films and TriStar Pictures.
Consequently, Mattel President Robbie Brenner explained
why audiences will love the upcoming movie:
"Whac-A-Mole is more than a game - it's a
laugh-out-loud battle of reflexes that has
brought joy and a little chaos to families
for five decades. We're beyond excited to
team up with TriStar Pictures to turn the
iconic experience into a wild,
action-packed ride for the big screen."
What else do we know about the Whac-a-Mole movie?
At present, the plot for the Whac-a-Mole movie is under
wraps. We know that the project will be overseen by
Elizabeth Bassin and Steve Spohr for Mattel, as well as
Shary Shirazi and Kelseigh Coombs for TriStar. TriStar
Pictures president Nicole Brown shares the huge impact the
pop-up game has:
"Mattel continues to create impact with their
films, and Whac-A-Mole is no exception - a
brand that has been in culture for
generations. We look forward to partnering
with them to bring audiences a fresh,
unexpected take on this absolute classic."

the upcoming Whac-a-Mole movie.
