Thomas & Friends: The Movie is an upcoming live-action animated film based on the Thomas & Friends media franchise and its television series of the same name, being developed by Mattel Films and directed by Marc Forster.

Production[edit]
A live-action film based on Thomas & Friends was in development at HIT Entertainment in 2009. It would pilot the studio's film division, and was originally slated for a theatrical release in late 2010.[1] The film would later be pushed back to 2011, with Josh Klausner having signed on to write the film.[2] Shane Acker, who had previously directed the film 9, signed on to direct in 2011, with Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi contributing to the script.[3] All news of the film would halt in 2012.
Marc Forster[4]
Another attempt at a Thomas film was announced in October of 2020, when it was revealed that Marc Forster would be partnering with Mattel Films to direct and produce a feature film based off of Thomas & Friends.[5][4] Alongside Forster's announcement, it was also confirmed that Alyssa Hill and Jesse Wigutow would be writing the film's screenplay.[6] Mattel films chief Robbie Brenner has stated that Thomas' story in the film will be told in "a modern and unexpected way,"[6] and that the film was to be "a four-quadrant family adventure that blends live-action and animation".[6][7] The film would later be included in Mattel's list of upcoming films and toy lines on their website, in which it was listed the under the title Thomas & Friends: The Movie.[8]
