'Barbie' - The movie with Margot Robbie as the protagonist
The idea of creating a "Barbie" movie has been around for more than a decade, however, the path that the adaptation has taken has been full of obstacles, at least until before the arrival of Margot Robbie as protagonist and producer.
The path of the Barbie film has been more than stumbling in the creative and development area, since it had not found solidity until a couple of years ago, when Margot Robbie entered the project as the protagonist and producer and to date that has been maintained, although it is the actress herself who has revealed that the tape is nothing that someone can expect about it and that they seek to generate a conversation through it, so goodbye to those thoughts that predicted a clichéd story.
In a recent interview for The Hollywood Reporter, Robbie gave new information about the film, mentioning that “we like things that feel a little left of center. Something like Barbie, where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of 'Oh, Margot is playing Barbie, I know what she is,' but our goal is to be like, 'Whatever you're thinking , we will give you something totally different, what you didn't know you wanted'”.
Let us remember that the script of the feature film is in charge of Noah Baumbach (Story of a marriage) and Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird), who have a very marked style of creating their cinema, so we do not expect a superficial story, quite the opposite. , something capable of delving into the depths of a human being and reflecting it in a script that seems local, but has universal repercussions:
“Now, can we really honor the intellectual property and the fan base and also surprise people?” asks the protagonist of Birds of Prey and I, Tonya: “Because if we can do all that and provoke a thoughtful conversation , then we will really be firing at full speed, "concluded Margot Robbie, who seems enthusiastic about embarking on this project and finally giving it shape, after originally the idea of a film about Barbie arose since 2009.
First Amy Schumer was going to be the protagonist with the production of Reese Witherspoon, but the project was postponed so much that the actress defected and rumors began about Anne Hathaway to take the role, something that did not materialize either, but after her it is when Margot Robbie came to the role and it seems that she will be the one who will now give life in front of the camera to the famous adaptation of the doll in a film that will probably be directed by Greta Gerwig, although for now it does not have a release date.
