Margot Robbie lives in a world that is essentially a Barbie doll. Over the past few years, the actress has immersed herself in the world of Barbie, producing and acting in the upcoming Barbie movie. Production on Barbie reportedly started in Los Angeles in March 2022. Fans observed Robbie and her well-known co-star, Ryan Gosling, filming near Venice Beach over the summer.
Since then, fans have been enthralled by the revelation of behind-the-scenes images and movie poster art, particularly Robbie’s transformation into a hot pink. But that’s not the only shocking information regarding the ultra-top-secret movie that has been revealed.
Everything you need to know about Barbie, from the movie’s premiere date to the woman who was initially cast as the protagonist.
Barbie is in capable hands as a director
Greta Gerwig is directing Barbie, and her real-life Ken, Noah Baumbach, works with her as a co-writer. For her work on Lady Bird and Little Women, Gerwig has been nominated for an Oscar three times. In addition, Baumback is a renowned director. For the movie Marriage Story from 2019, he garnered high accolades.
The cast is purportedly made up of Issa Rae and Will Ferrell, among many more A-list actors
Hollywood A-listers will work together to produce the most eagerly awaited film of 2023. Gosling will play dreamboat Ken alongside Robbie.
The other cast members are America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, Emma Mackey, and Will Ferrell. According to Deadline, the actor will play a high-ranking official at a toy manufacturer.
The information that there will be several Barbie and Ken variations is even more enjoyable. Simu Liu and Ncuti Gatwa will play Barbie, and Hari Nef and Issa Rae will play Ken.
But you might not know that Gerwig didn’t first think of putting Robbie in the role of the title character, the plastic doll. It was Amy Schumer. The comedian was chosen to play Barbie in December 2016, but she dropped out of the production after only four months.
Schumer previously told The Hollywood Reporter that “they obviously didn’t want to do it the way I wanted to do it, the only way I was interested in doing it.” Robbie later received a role in January 2019.
The story of the film is kept a secret
For the time being, everything that occurs in Barbieland remains there. No one has revealed anything about the film’s content, so it looks like Gerwig swore the cast and crew of Barbie to secrecy.
According to Ferrera, “People don’t know what to expect [with the movie], and I believe that’s the correct mood.” “It’s not that, whatever you believe it is. It’s not what you think.
From the movie stills, it appears that Robbie will be wearing Barbie’s infamous and garnished neon-coloured wardrobe. Pink, pink, and pinker.
The publication date is confirmed
Barbie isn’t quite prepared to go out and party yet. We still have a while to wait for this awaited release,, as the movie isn’t scheduled to come out until July 2023. It just buys us more time to think of possible candidates to sing Aqua’s well-known “Barbie Girl” anthem. Who can guess?
