Forster will also be co-producing Thomas the Tank Engine alongside Robbie Brenner as an executive producer, and Kevin McKeon as a supervising producer, who will both lead the project for Mattel Films.
Prepare to feel pleasantly nostalgic, as the beloved locomotive with the slightly creepy face, Thomas the Tank Engine, is chugging his way back onto the big screen courtesy of Mattel Films and Marc Forster’s production company 2Dux².
Thomas the Tank Engine was first created in 1945 by Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son Christopher.
“Thomas has been a personal favorite of mine since childhood,” said Marc Forster.
