1905 Movie Network News After a major change of blood behind the scenes, the live-action version of "Barbie" finally determined the starring and shooting time. It is reported that the clown woman Margot Robbie will play Barbie herself in the film. The film will also be filmed in London in the first half of 2022. The director is Greta Gerweger.
For Barbie fans, this is a pretty good result. But for lovers of independent film, having Greta Gerweger write the screenplay and direct the film is somewhat unexpected. After all, the independent filmmaker has lived in independent films with unique styles and stories for many years, and this time it is a bit difficult to accept coming to a mainstream film studio to make a film based on a famous doll. However, Greta Gerweger can also take this opportunity to enter the mainstream film industry. In Sony's plan, the film will hopefully be made into a feminist film, telling Barbie to find herself not as perfect as people think, she accepts her imperfect self, goes deep into real life, and realizes that being unique is the most important thing.
Since its release in 1959, Barbie dolls have become one of the most popular toy series in the world today, bringing up to $3 billion a year in profits for toy giant Mattel. In 2015, Sony began preparing a live-action film project for Barbie, hoping to create a family comedy full of humanity, using the film to convey modern values of female beauty and self-awareness. According to the plan, the release date of this film is set for 2023.
