Hello Kitty to be made into Hollywood film
After five years of discussions, Sanrio, the Japanese firm which manages the character, has signed a deal with a unit of Warner Bros, New Line Cinema.
The film’s plot is not yet decided.
“A search for writers and creative talent will commence immediately,” Sanrio said in a statement.
The film will be made by Flynn Picture Company, the production company behind blockbuster films Rampage and Skyscraper, starring Dwayne Johnson.
It will be produced by New Line Cinema, a unit of Warner Bros, responsible for the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogies.
