I think you meant to refer to the 2017 MLP movie. 

Quite so, I guess I put my hoof in my mouth.

Interesting. I am guessing this will be something where ponies come to the human world but stay as ponies?

No one has any idea so far. For all we know this could be a live-action remake of Rescue at Midnight Castle or it might be entirely new and act as an introduction to G6.

The one question I don’t see asked enough in this thread is… Why?

Well, if I were to take a guess, I think it might be an attempt to imitate the success of A Minecraft Movie? But I could be wrong.

Minecraft is a videogame. I would rather say Barbie. After the success of that movie, films based on toys have been slowly becoming a trend (again, it already kinda was in the past). The Hotwheels movie has already been announced and the He-Man and the Master of The Universe movie is already in production. 

Let's remember that Hasbro themselves aren't new to such thing. They already made 7 Live-action Transformers movies and 3 G.I. Joe movies, and the two are apparently going to crossover in the next movie.

So I'm personally not surprised by this, except that MLP is maybe just too fantastical when compared to these other IPs, so it may be harder to make a live action based on it. But they made giant robots that can transform into vehicle work in live-action, so maybe they can make ponies work as well.

If the Mane Six keep their G4 appearance in CGI like Detecitive Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog, it might not be a problem to give the movie a try.

Seriously. I'm optimistic but I've seen fans edit photos of real horses to look like FiM horses and that only looked good in Wizard of Oz.
