Mattel and Warner Bros. are partnering up to bring the toy company’s Hot Wheels to theaters in the first ever live-action feature film for the beloved racecar franchise.

This will mark the second partnership for the two companies following the news of the “Barbie” feature film starring Margot Robbie.

“We are excited to bring the thrill of a Hot Wheels live-action feature film to the big screen in partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures,” Ynon Kreiz, Mattel’s chairman and CEO, said in a statement. “Mattel Films has great momentum as it continues to execute on our commitment to bring global audiences new ways to experience the brands they love as we transform Mattel into an IP-driven, high-performing toy company.”

This is going to be one of those movies that has really nothing to do with its inspiration OR completely derivative.

So its either going to be
1)Cars
2)Toy Story
3) Fast and Furious

Pretty sure this has been done before. It was called Cars.

The non-car version of this was called The Lego Movie.

The producer they named hasn't done any kids movies. She was nominated for the Oscar with Dallas Buyers Club. I'm thinking this will be more Fast and Furious than Toy Story.

I was that target audience that Mattel hit with the first 16 Hot Wheels cars for Christmas of '68. Just hearing "Hot Wheels" gets me thinking of Beatles music and Sugar Crisp cereal and Herculoids cartoons.

Call me cynical, but I’m thinking more Need For Speed than Fast and Furious

I'd rather a Micro Machines movie with the fast-talking guy.

They should base it around the Hot Wheels Attack Pack toys from the 90s

They fight to fight!!

So basically, it worked for LEGO, it’ll work for us?

Better be a good story. My guess is it’s basically a version of Cars.
