![]() ![]() Gerwig “was like, ‘I just need to explain what it is,’” Rae teased in a December 7 story. It got to a point where he wanted to direct, and I said, ‘Step aside!’” Star Issa Rae dropped another clue that the film was a little … high concept. While writing the script with Baumbach, Greta told CinemaCon they “we were making each other laugh all the time, and it got to a point where we were making each other cry. ![]() In the original plot, “she then goes on an adventure in the real world and by the time she returns to Barbieland to save it, she has gained the realization that perfection comes on the inside, not the outside, and that the key to happiness is belief in oneself, free of the obligation to adhere to some unattainable standard of perfection.” While the “real world” concept has been maintained, this movie looks more like a meta-examination of girlhood and Barbie’s impact than it does like a story of individuality. Schumer left the project because she very specifically wanted Barbie to be an “ambitious inventor.” She dropped out before Gerwig and Baumbach came onto the project but after the studio asked her if Barbie’s invention could be a “high heel made out of Jell-O.” That was absolutely sexist but sounds fun to try on.īefore being produced by Warner Bros., the film was originally going to be produced by Sony and had “a fish-out-of-water story à la Splash and Big, whereby Barbie gets kicked out of Barbieland because she’s not perfect enough, a bit eccentric and doesn’t fit in,” Deadline reported. Photos and posters with both the stars have been released, and if neither of them makes your heart flutter, you’re boring! Margot Robbie took on the starring role of the Mattel doll after Amy Schumer dropped out over creative differences, and Ryan Gosling will play Ken. First, we know Gerwig and her husband, Marriage Story writer Noah Baumbach, are writing the screenplay and Gerwig is directing.
