Mattel's Matchbox Cars Movies Nabs Extraction Director Sam Hargrave

Matchbox, the upcoming movie based on Mattel 's beloved toy-car brand, has put filmmaker Sam Hargrave in the director's chair. Mattel , riding high on the success of Barbie last year, has a number of big film projects in the works. Hargrave is a celebrated stunt performer with years working on some of Hollywood's biggest action blockbusters.

"For nearly 70 years, Matchbox has carried enormous cultural relevance and inspired generations of kids to unleash their imaginations, combining what they see in the world every day with what they dream their own world to be," Robbie Brenner, executive producer of Mattel Films, said in a statement last June.

Skydance has been in the news recently for their attempts to merge with Paramount. It is not yet clear whether those attempts will be successful. Skydance's offer faces competition from an investor group with ties to Sony Pictures.
