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.

Overview

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.
