Here is an overview of what we presently know about the Barbie movie.
In the Barbie movie, who plays what roles?
Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken, will be portrayed by Ryan Gosling, while Margot Robbie will fill the title part. The LuckyChap Entertainment show now features three more well-known performers: America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, and Hari Nef. The most intriguing news is that Ncuti Gatwa, a co-star on Netflix, has agreed to collaborate with Sex Education’s Emma Mackey in an unnamed position. According to rumors, the Robbie lookalike may represent Skipper, Chelsea, or Stacie, one of Barbie’s three younger sisters.
What is the plot of the Barbie-related film?
Because of what is seen as her shortcomings, a Barbie doll who was living in Barbie’s country is forced to leave. She discovers that genuine beauty can only be found inside as she travels through the outer world. If that seems cliché, it’s vital to remember that feminist auteur Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), with assistance from her partner Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story), is writing and directing the picture.
When does the Barbie movie come out?
Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed the movie’s July 21, 2023, theatrical debut at CinemaCon 2022 in Las Vegas.
Does anyone know whether the Barbie movie has a trailer?
Indeed, it is explained below.
These details are:
The trailer is a thrill in candies.
The first teaser trailer, released on December 16, starts with a fake-serious voiceover detailing the invention of the Barbie doll and features the first pictures of Margot Robbie dressed as her character in a black and white striped one-piece and retro sunglasses. Is it also worth mentioning? Issa Rae wears a “President” sash; Simu Liu dances; a wide shot of her pastel-hued world; Ryan Gosling and Ncuti Gatwa are dressed in questionable apparel; Robbie is in a shimmering outfit at the center of a complex musical performance. We are rushing so much.
According to Margot Robbie, the film will consider historical criticisms of Barbie and her choice to play the lead role in the biopic.
Robbie said in the cover interview for the August 2021 issue of British Vogue that filming a live-action Barbie movie “comes with a lot of baggage” and “a lot of nostalgic connections.” But it also brings forth a lot of fascinating new ways to approach it. Most people go from thinking they already know what the movie “Barbie” will be to think, “Oh, well, maybe I don’t…” after they find out Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it. There has always been debate concerning the lack of diversity in the series. In the film, Gerwig will have to confront this problem head-on.
Robbie took up the role of another well-known blonde: Alicia Schumer.
The Oscar presenter originally agreed to collaborate on the film with Diablo Cody but then resigned because of differences over the movie’s subject matter. Schumer claims that when she wanted to make Barbie an inventor in her script, she was told to make her an inventor of Jell-O stilettos instead. The only way I was interested in doing it was the way I wanted, but they didn’t want to do it that way, Schumer told The Hollywood Reporter. Her receipt of a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes as a thank-you gift for landing the role is another red flag. So I should have said, ‘You’ve got the wrong gal,’ right away. That’s got to be precisely what every woman wants. Contrarily, Cody quit the project after failing to write a script that, in her judgment, did the source material justice.
The movie initially worried Gerwig that it may “end her career.”
During a November interview on Dua Lipa’s At Your Service podcast, the director discussed why she decided to work on the divisive picture. It was thrilling and horrifying at the same time, she claimed. “Oh, no, Barbie,” I think it was a significant impact. When I initially began writing it, I felt woozy and pondered, “Where do you even begin, and what would be the story?” When you think, “I’m terrified of that,” you will often find the best stuff. When you consider that it may be the end of your career, anything makes you feel like you should probably do it.
Ryan Gosling and the rest of us share the excitement over his casting.
The first photographs of the La La Land actor in costume, which showed his unique Ken boxers over his bleached slacks, were released by Warner Brothers as he acknowledged his joy at obtaining the role. When announcing the Netflix release of The Gray Man, he humorously told Variety, “Finally, it’s happening.” “I have predicted this my whole life… I thought I recognized myself there. I experienced being understood. Many Kens will likely feel understood after they see this, in my opinion. For the Kens, it must be completed. The Kens play alone all the time. He also made a plot-related reference to the movie when connecting his Barbie image with The Gray Man. “In my opinion, Ken’s life is far more challenging than that of The Gray Man… Ken doesn’t have any money, a job, a car, a house, or any other tangible goods. He is coping with specific problems.
How much of Greta Gerwig’s memoir will discuss Mattel’s history is unclear.
The area surrounding Barbie and everyone in it has a long history. According to Mattel, the Barbie doll, whose actual name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, is from a fictional Wisconsin town, is a Pisces, and has had more than 200 occupations, including firefighter, CEO, and surgeon. She also participated in the 1965 space race, the 1992 presidential election, and the 2004 breakup and 2011 reconciliation of Ken. Based on the outfits Robbie has been wearing on set, Gerwig seems to be referencing many iterations of the doll over the years, such as Hot Skatin’ Barbie from 1994, but she will certainly be putting her spin.
Outstanding attire has a function.
Even though the film’s debut is still a year away, the Barbiecore trend is already attributed to Gerwig’s work (partly because of Pierpaolo Piccioli’s “Valentino Pink PP” autumn/winter 2022 collection). Who created the retro clothing worn by Gosling and Robbie that went viral online? The Little Women ensemble, which contributed to a resurgence of the prairie dress, was created by Gerwig and Oscar-winning fashion designer Jacqueline Durran. Additionally, she was in charge of all of Kristen Stewart’s Chanel outfits for Spencer.
Barbie is one of the two well-known Mattel characters that will soon get a Hollywood makeover.
Lena Dunham and star Lily Collins will direct a full-length movie on the well-known toy from the 1990s from, Emily in Paris Polly Pocket. In an interview with Variety, the creator of The Girls said she was “so excited to bring to bear both my love of this historic property and my deeply held belief that young women need smart, playful films that speak to them without condescension.” Collins, please? She said with a photo of herself as a little girl on Instagram, “As a child who was obsessed with Polly Pockets, it’s a real dream come true to announce this project!” I’m delighted to be a producer together with Polly! I’m eager to learn more about the realm of pastels.
