Apple has picked up "Dolly," an upcoming film that's set to star Florence Pugh, known for her roles in "Midsommar" and "Little Women," reports Deadline.

Apple purchased the rights to the film after a "competitive bidding war," but the project has not yet been greenlit because the script has not yet been written and a director has not been picked.

The script is being penned by Vanessa Taylor and Drew Pearce. Taylor worked on screenplays for "Hillbilly Elegy" and "The Shape of Water," while Drew Pearce has worked on franchises like "Iron Man," "Mission: Impossible," and "Fast and Furious."

"Dolly" is described as a sci-fi courtroom drama in which a robotic companion doll kills her owner and then shocks the world by proclaiming her innocence and requesting a lawyer. The movie was inspired by Elizabeth Bear's short story of the same name.

"Dolly" will join several other Apple TV+ movies including the recently released film "Palmer" starring Justin Timberlake and "Cherry," an upcoming movie starring Tom Holland.

I was hoping for a Dolly the Sheep biopic.

'Dolly clones Dolly. "amazing wonderful" says The Donald "I just love the Dolly's doing what they do best. Well done that Tim Apple!" – watch now only on Apple TV+!'

I have no idea who this is ... (but if it’s the young British actress dating another older brother actor who’s more than double her age and she’s super mature yes she’s a Hottie both physically and intellectually)

The premise of this movie seems really really juicy!

it’s like writers are hired by Ai experts to prepare us for an eventual potential futures.

No script but the rights are sold. What a great time to be making movies. Tech giants are making creative people’s dreams come true.

Yet the theaters are endangered.

Zach Braff is actually doing more directing these days. He actually directed an episode of Ted Lasso.

Contrary to a few others in this thread, I'm incredibly relieved this isn't about Dolly Parton.

Enough with biopics, let's promote some cutting-edge original storytelling instead! Excited for this one :)

It a blend of morals and courtroom drama I think. It not a sci-fi movie per say. Another Apple TV+ alternative that will have limited appeal.
 
Great! Hope my sex doll doesn’t get wind of this.

No need to give ideas.
