Lena Dunham Steps Down from Polly Pocket Film Project
The director cites creative differences and the success of Greta Gerwig's Barbie as reasons for her departure.
- Dunham spent three years developing the Polly Pocket script but decided to leave the project.
- She felt she couldn't replicate the unique success of Gerwig's Barbie and wanted to focus on projects only she could make.
- Mattel and Warner Bros. are still moving forward with the Polly Pocket film, with Lily Collins attached to star.
- Dunham is currently working on other projects, including a Netflix series and a collegiate spy show.
- She also chose not to star in her new series due to past experiences with body shaming.
