Barbie: Margot Robbie was convinced that the film could not be made

BarbieGreta Gerwig’s fantastic project

After ladybug (2018) e Dr. March’s daughters (2020), the next film by Greta Gervig it is highly anticipated. Also because the director has so far largely convinced behind the camera. But above all because his new project is, on paper, quite improbable. With Barbiethe director faces one of the great figures of children’s toys. The famous doll marketed by Mattel since 1959.

However, those familiar with Greta Gerwig’s personality knew that the film could not be a classic biopic about the company or the creation of the doll. And it was quickly confirmed by seeing the first trailers. In the feature film, we’ll find out a Barbie played by Margot Robbie who lives her colorful world among other Barbies and a multitude of Kens, including one played by Ryan Gosling. They both then go on an adventure in the real world…

Margot Robbie couldn’t believe it

Margot Robbie recently spoke about the film to BAFTA (through Expiration). He explained that it was particularly surprised that the Barbie by Greta Gerwig it can be done. Especially with a big studio like Warner Bros. behind it. For her, even if she found very good textureit seemed inconceivable that the director could have the green light for her project.

The first time I read the Barbie script, my reaction was: “Ah! It’s so good. Too bad that can never happen. Because they will never let us have this movie.”

However, Warner Bros has actually validated this scenario. Unfortunately, the actress does not provide more details on what, in the script, it could, according to her, send the studio into a tailspin – which by the way is a good way to promote the film. In addition to making fun of famous dolls, it could therefore be that Barbie takes a bold direction that the trailers have so far hidden.

Expiration also recalls that last November Greta Gerwig announced his fear when he started writing the script. She would even have thought for a moment that this might lead to end of careerand it is precisely this that has strengthened his motivation to make this film.

In any case, given the enthusiasm around Barbiewell aided by a cast that also includes Will Ferrell, Emma MackeyIssa Rae, America Ferrera, Michael Cera or even Dua Lipa, we think that Warner Bros. was right to bet on this project. It will be available on July 19, 2023 in theaters.
