Monster High

6/16/10 - Alfred Gough and Miles Millar are coming aboard to script Universal's Monster High, based on a new Mattel property, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  The monster musical is set at "frighteningly fashionable" Monster High and features the spawn of famous monsters including Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman undergoing the perils of high school.  After years of making toys based on other companies' properties or movies, Mattel this summer is launching its first in-house brand created from scratch, pushing Monster through a combination of books, webisodes, animation as well as toys, apparel and accessories. And no entertainment line today can be complete without the all-but-inevitable live-action movie.  The picture is bringing a musical approach to a tone that will be part Beetlejuice and part The Addams Family.
