‘Barbie’: Will Ferrell Says Greta Gerwig’s Upcoming Movie Is “The Ultimate Example Of High Art And Low Art”

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach are one of Hollywood’s major power couples of the moment. And the duo collaborate on next year’s “Barbie,” which, if word of mouth is right, may become a cultural sensation when it hits theaters next summer.

Adam Sandler has to be loving life right now. Not only does he continue to make hit films for Netflix, but he’s been able to truly flex his more dramatic chops with his recent film “Hustle,” as well as the oft-discussed, awards-caliber performance in “Uncut Gems.” And apparently, his roles in auteur projects is nowhere near done.

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach are expecting their second child together. The Lady Bird director revealed her pregnancy news during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday. "I am with child," she announced.

revealed during an interview on on Thursday that she and Baumbach's family is growing, confirming to Fallon, “I am with child.” However, she confessed, this really shouldn't be news to anyone as she actually debuted her baby bump on the red carpet last month at a premiere for her new film, White Noise. “I went to an event recently, and I wore something, and I thought everyone would be so interested that I was having another child, and nobody cared,” Gerwig explained with a laugh.

The long road of bringing the “Barbie” film to the big screen has gone through a number of ups and downs. Stars and come and gone.

Three-time Oscar nominee Greta Gerwig has opened up about the combination of excitement and terror she felt in taking on Warner Bros’ upcoming feature Barbie as co-writer and director.

Netflix has unveiled the trailer for Noah Baumbach’s “White Noise,” starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig as the heads of a blended family forced to go on the run after an “airborne toxic event” settles over their town.The adaptation of Don DeLillo’s prize-winning novel finds Jack (Driver) and Babette (Gerwig) living with their four whip smart children in a university town at the peak of mid-1980s consumer culture. That all changes when a mysterious chemical cloud starts heading their way, forcing everyone to evacuate.The trailer kicks off with the family romping around a supermarket and enjoying life when a large cargo truck suddenly crashes into a moving train, igniting a massive explosion.“They’re calling it the Airborne Toxic Event,” one of the kids says as they peer through binoculars at a looming cloud.“It won’t come this way,” says Jack, ensuring his kids that they won’t have to leave their home.

While White Noise is set in the 1980s, its story of a society that doesn’t know how to deal with an impending ecological disaster that threatens their lives is a dark reflection of our own times, and that, says star Greta Gerwig, is exactly what drew her to the film.

Academy Award winner Damien Chazelle’s audacious new film “Babylon” is out in the world. Or rather, the highly-anticipated movie, the last major Oscar contender of the year (Unless “Avatar 2” surprises), has been seen by critics in New York and LA, and the responses to the wild film have been dividing.

Disney’s Margot Robbie-led Pirates of the Caribbean spinoff has been killed by the studio, per the Oscar-nominated actress.

Ever since she launched her LuckyChap production company several years ago, Margot Robbie has really controlled her career trajectory in a way that is admirable. She only works on projects that she is excited about and she definitely takes advantage of being a producer.

After the release of “Lady Bird,” if you would have told me that Greta Gerwig would begin her transition into a blockbuster filmmaker working on various major franchises, I would have been shocked. That isn’t to say that she’s incapable of such things, but her sensibilities seemed deeply rooted in indie storytelling and more dramatic fare.

Apple Original Films’ upcoming holiday film Spirited required the hands and talents of multiple creatives behind the scenes including Ian Eisendrath, who served as the musical comedy’s executive music producer. After his performance of an original song at Deadline’s Sound & Screen event, he revealed the elements of his job that kept him busy amid the singing talents of the cast that includes Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer among others.

Will Ferrell is a multi-talented entertainer who loves to sing but too rarely gets the expansive opportunity for it on-screen. (We’ve heard the show-stopping and sincere performance of “Time to Say Goodbye” in “Step Brothers” or the hammy songs in Netflix’s “Eurovision” movie.) Thankfully, we now have the giddy song and dance of Sean Anders’ Christmas musical “Spirited,” which gives Ferrell’s tender tenor plenty of heartfelt scenes that allow him to be cartoonish but also musically sentimental.
