For some reason I have always loved it when an “unworthy” material gets the A+ treatment. And I am not even mainly talking about the cast in this case, but the director (Gewig) and the writers (Gerwig and Baumbach).
> “Barbie” is one of many Mattel properties getting a feature adaptation. Projects based on the Magic 8 Ball, Hot Wheels, “Master of the Universe,” Polly Pocket, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots and the throwback dolls Chatty Kathy and Besty Wetsy are in the works.
Also, UNO movie is in the works for Mattel Cinematic Universe.
After my skepticism leading up to Little Women and how amazing that turned out to be, i’m happy to let Greta take me wherever she’s planning to go with this Barbie movie. Margot looks absolutely perfect and this movie looks like it will have ALL THE COLOUR that people are always complaining that modern movies are missing. I cannot wait.
I have no idea what to expect from this movie. It’s produced by Mattel/Warner, but written/directed by Baumbach and Gerwig. It could be a 90 minute commercial or a 2.5 hours of social commentary. Either way it will be bananas.
Margot Robbie – Barbie
Ryan Gosling – Ken
Issa Rae – CEO of Matel-like company
Rhea Perlman – Issa’s sidekick
Will Ferrell – CEO of rival company to Matel (villain)
Michael Cera – Ferrell’s right hand (villain’s sidekick)
Arianna Greenblatt – Skipper (Barbie’s sister)
America Ferrera – Teresa (Barbie’s friend)
Alexandra Shipp – Nikki (Barbie’s friend)
Simu Liu – Raquelle (Barbie’s rival) [genderbent]
Kate McKinnon – Millicent (Barbie’s aunt)
Kinglsey Ben-Adir – Malibu Ken
Emerald Fennell – Curvy Barbie
Emma Mackey – Young Margaret (Barbie’s mom)
I get the feeling this movie is going to cause /r/MovieDetails to overload and malfunction
What are the chances that they use Barbie Girl by Aqua for promotional materials?
The release date of July 21, 2023 was just announced as well.
I am unreasonably excited for this movie
“Hi, Ken. Wanna go for a ride?”
Come on Barbie, let’s go party!
Bold casting choice! She looks nothing like Klaus Barbie.
Margot Robbie is an attractive woman.

I still cannot believe this is a Gerwig/Baumbach movie
I’m a grown ass man and here I am excited for a fucking Barbie movie.

But are those accessories included or are they sold separately?
we need Jaime Pressly there too.
She looks like… Margot Robbie.
Looks like the Barbie Dream Car is a 50s era Pink Chevrolet convertible
If this movie hits big, we might see a bunch of pink cars on the road.
So is this basically going to be Enchanted with Amy Adams, only it’s Barbie with Margot Robbie? The whole fish out of water thing.
I hope it’s closer to Life Size, an absolute forgotten classic with Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan.
Remember when Any Schumer was supposed to be Barbie.
Harley Quinn really turned her life around it seems
Come on Robbie let’s go party!
Love it. I’m making some guess on the cast
