Apple has won a bidding war for “Dolly” which stars Florence Pugh and Vanessa Taylor. Drew Pearce will serve as writer (via Deadline).
Dolly
Inspired by a short story by the same name from Elizabeth Bear, “Dolly” is a sci-fi drama in which a robot companion doll kills her owner and then claims she isn’t guilty and asks for a lawyer.
Apple Studios will produce the film along with Drew Pearce, through Point of NO Return Films. Florence Pugh and Vanessa Taylor will be executive producers.
Other recent Apple TV+ news includes a look at “For All Mankind” season two, Claire Danes starring in “The Essex Serpent”, and M. Night Shyamalan discussing season two, episode four of his series “Servant”.
You mean the classic Outer Limits episode “I, Robot” (1964) in which “A cynical lawyer is hired by a young woman to prove that her uncle was not killed by his invention – a sophisticated robot?”
