Robert Rodriguez Announced to direct UGLY DOLLS Movie!

As CinemaCon rages on in Las Vegas, varied news of upcoming feature films has steadily seeped unto the www, to vary degrees of excitement, but one particular slice of news is pertinent to THIS blog - the announcement of Robert Rodriguez to direct STX Entertainmentā€˜s ā€œUGLY DOLLSā€ movie!

Last announced in 2015, a release date has since been set for this animated feature, on May 10th, 2019. Comingsoon.net reports that ā€There are currently no major films scheduled for that date, although it will be following the untitled Avengers: Infinity War sequel a week before on May 3.ā€ Do we need to worry about "crossover-fans fatigue" here? :p


Check out the poster for the film, revealed at CinemaCon - where we see David Horvath x Sun-Min Kim’s ā€œUGLYDOLLā€ (with no ā€œSā€) characters in animated 3D! with the tagline: "Things are about to get ugly"!

UPDATED: David Horvath has since mentioned; ā€Yes those are just the critterbox guysā€ - So, NO, these apparently were not the ā€œfinalā€ characters shown.

If by some slim chance you are unfamiliar with Robert Rodriguez, he has directed numerous genre films including the breakout ā€œEl Mariachiā€ (1992), to 1996’s ā€œFrom Dusk Till Dawnā€, ā€œOnce Upon a Time in Mexicoā€ (2003), ā€œSin Cityā€ (2005) and ā€œSin City: A Dame to Kill Forā€ (2014), not to mention more intense adult features such as ā€œPlanet Terrorā€ (2007), ā€œMacheteā€ (2007) and ā€œMachete Killsā€ (2013), and is currently doing ā€œAlita: Battle Angelā€!

But as well he has helmed 4 x ā€œSpy Kidsā€ feature films, and is slated to direct ā€œJonny Questā€œ, so it’ll not be all blood-letting and such for our ā€œUglyā€-friends (*crosses fingers and toes), and I personally cannot wait for what happens next!
