Story Kitchen Sets Feature Film Based on Roblox Breakout 'Grow a Garden'

The early development teams the game’s creators with a games-first production house after the title set Roblox records this year.

Overview

  • Story Kitchen is developing a family-oriented film in close collaboration with the creators of Grow a Garden, describing the planned tone as whimsical, emotional, and unexpectedly epic.
  • The project is in early development with story details under wraps, and no studio, distributor, release date, or cast has been announced.
  • Producers include Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson, with Jeremy Bolt for JB Pictures; Moonrock’s John Gaudiosi and John Benyamine will co-produce alongside Story Kitchen’s Elena Sandoval, and Think Influence is associated.
  • The Roblox hit launched in March 2025, has logged more than 33 billion plays, and peaked at 22.3 million concurrent players in August, surpassing Fortnite’s 15.3 million record.
  • The announcement arrives as Roblox properties gain Hollywood traction, with Jailbreak also securing a movie deal, and follows Story Kitchen’s expanding game-to-screen slate including Tomb Raider, Life Is Strange, It Takes Two, and Sifu.
