Controversial influencer Dylan Mulvaney has been added to the promotional campaign for Lionsgate's struggling adaptation of Judy Blume's seminal novel 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.'
The film, which stars Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates and tells the story of the title character's dealing with faith and puberty in New Jersey, has struggled to date at the box office, earning just $16million in three weeks.
Despite the films 99 percent critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes - along with an equally impressive 94 percent audience score - the film hasn't come close to making back its $30million budget.
That has led the studio Lionsgate to bring out 'a last-minute paid partnership to draw attention to the film' with Mulvaney - whose advertisement with Bud Light has seen sales drop up to 20 percent a week - posting an interview with the celebrated author Blume on TikTok, according to Hollywood in Toto.
'Are you there God, it's me, Dylan!' Mulvaney excitedly begins the clip, which she captioned by calling Blume - who backtracked after receiving backlash for saying she is '100 per cent' behind Harry Potter writer J.K. Rowling - 'one of my heroes.'

All the leftist child and adolescent therapists and counselors with scarves loved Blume books. Same sort of people who are dying to add a couple of trans to their resumes today.
As a full grown adult heterosexaul american male, A movie about a puberty wasnt on my list of films I would even be slightly interested in. Add The devil worshipping freakshow dylan and I now has a reason to actively boycott this film and unfriend anyone who sees it or even thought about seeing it.
I thought LionsGate was a decent film maker, I recall seeing the name on some christian movies, now I read this, why would they hire a guy dressed as a woman?
Anyone else thinking Hollyweird now exists to launder money for Deep State...
I had to double check whether this article was satire. Great move Lionsgate, that’ll do it!
I don’t think this movie may be what you thought it was.
Hiring Mulvaney is a big tell.
I’m surprised a studio hasn’t optioned and made the Judy Blume book “Wifey”. That was a real eye-opener for a 13 year old boy!
