I mean, I did read the script. And the script was incredible.

blockbuster “Barbie” movie’s soundtrack includes colorful hits from Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, and Billie Eilish, but director Greta Gerwig also revealed that the film was originally intended to include a “fart opera.”“We’ve always tried to get in a proper fart joke and we’ve never done it,” Gerwig told IndieWire revealed about the secret mission she held with longtime editing collaborator Nick Houy to get their characters to pass gas when working together. But apparently there is no farting in Barbie Land.“We had like a fart opera in the middle [of ‘Barbie’]. I thought it was really funny.

Barbie.The video, which was posted on Monday (July 24) by TikTok user Sophia Ferreira, shows several attendees engaged in an argument as the film’s credits roll in Brazil. A woman then approaches and shoves another woman, knocking her backwards into the seats behind.This sparks her to retaliate by swinging her shoe, before a man breaks up the scuffle.According to Portugese-speaking commenters on TikTok who translated the argument (via Dexerto), the altercation allegedly happened after a woman allowed her child to watch YouTube videos at “max volume” throughout the film.The original video, which attracted over 126,000 views, has since been deleted.

Barbie was more than it actually cost to make the film itself, it has been reported.Greta Gerwig‘s film, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, came to cinemas on Friday (July 21).Ahead of its box office opening, the film hosted a host of marketing activities from making a real-life Barbie dreamhouse to pink burgers and beyond, as well as a social media-led meme trend pitting the film against Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer.Now, it has been reported by Variety that the marketing budget for the film was a staggering $150million (£117m), eclipsing the $145m (£113m) it cost to actually make the film itself.Barbie is currently set to outpace Oppenheimer at the box office over the two films’ shared opening weekend.As things stand, Gerwig’s comedy is set to bring in $110million (£86.6million) at the US box office this weekend, over twice the expected takings of Nolan’s biopic about the creator of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer is expected to gross $50million (£38.8million).Barbie’s current takings mean it will break the record for the highest-opening film in the US by a female director. Wonder Woman previously held the title, bringing in £103million (£89.1million) in 2017.Warner Bros confirmed that Barbie had earned $22.3million (£17.3million) in box office previews – the highest figure of any film this year.

It seems like Barbie has everything — girl power, big laughs, more shades of pink than any of Us knew existed — but director Greta Gerwig had to cut a few things from the massive blockbuster.

Margot Robbie has said she was teased by her friends for not having a kissing scene with her Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling.In the film directed by Greta Gerwig, Barbie (Robbie) and Ken (Gosling) never share a kiss on screen, which became a source of ridicule in Robbie’s circle of friends.Asked by People whether she was happy she didn’t have to fully kiss Gosling in the film, Robbie, who also served as a producer, said: “Uh no! That didn’t feel like a win for me.“All of my girlfriends were like, ‘Well you did a whole movie with him and you don’t kiss? What’s wrong with you? I thought you were kind of in charge on this one!’”She added: “I was like, ‘I know, I can’t check that one off [my list].’”Gosling, however, was happy with how they navigated their relationship. “It was so funny trying to figure out what their idea of kissing might be,” the actor said.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Unless you’ve been trapped in a plastic toy box, there’s no escaping the Barbie-core movement that’s sweeping the globe — and potentially contributing a nationwide shortage of the color pink. The marketing department at Warner Bros. has been working in overdrive to entice the masses for Greta Gerwig’s cotton candy-colored fantasy “Barbie,” which has been all but inescapable this summer. A key factor has been a dizzying array of partnerships with products that range from a bright fuchsia Xbox (for STEM Barbie) to this $1,350 Balmain cropped hoodie (for Disposable Income Barbie). And that’s only scratching the surface of the brands that helped propel the movie to cultural touchstone status before arriving in theaters on July 21. In Malibu, there’s a real-life Barbie Dreamhouse that’s bookable through Airbnb. There’s also a themed boat cruise that’s setting sail in the Boston area.

“Barbie” has been blessed.Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated pink-filled comedy “Barbie” has finally driven its magenta-colored convertible into theaters.The movie is chock-full of religious motifs and allusions — thanks to the filmmaker’s past experiences at St. Francis High School, an all-girls Catholic school in Sacramento, California.“In the movie, like, when it starts, she’s in a world where there’s no aging or death or pain or shame or self-consciousness, and then she suddenly becomes self-conscious — that’s a really old story,” Gerwig recently told the Associated Press about the parallels between “Barbie” and the Bible.

on Friday, in conjunction with the movie's highly anticipated theatrical release. The album, produced by Mark Ronson, shares two of its credits with the movie's own cast --Dua Lipa, who plays mermaid Barbie, and Ken extraordinaire Ryan Gosling both feature on the film's soundtrack. Warner Bros. first announced plans to release in May, when Dua Lipa released her featured track, «Dance the Night.»The studio has since released six more featured singles: «Barbie World (with Aqua)» by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, «WATATI» by Karol G, «Angel» by PinkPantheress, «Speed Drive» by Charli XCX, «Barbie Dreams (feat.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Whether it’s a soundtrack, a score or a song placement, there are countless wrong ways to do music for film and so few ways to make it feel right. There’s very little leeway, which is why it can be so challenging for even the most successful hitmakers to make the transition to film music — especially with a major film event like “Barbie.” With albums and songs by Amy Winehouse, Adele, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars and many others under his belt, seven-time Grammy-winning producer Mark Ronson is one of the most successful pop songwriter-producers working today, yet his work on the soundtrack to Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster “Barbie” film — for which he co-wrote and co-produced five songs, cowrote the score with longtime collaborator Andrew Wyatt, and served as an executive music producer — was a new experience.

Barbie looks set to become one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.Directed by Greta Gerwig (Little Women), the satirical comedy marks the first live-action film based on Mattel’s Barbie dolls.Led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken respectively, the film’s ensemble cast also includes America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae and Will Ferrell.A sequel hasn’t been officially announced. Judging by the film’s projected box office success however, and the positive critical reception, it’s likely a follow-up will be on the cards.Speaking to Time, Robbie said she’d been involved in conversations around a potential sequel.

Barbie starring Margot Robbie has been released – check it out below.Directed by Greta Gerwig (Little Women), the satirical comedy is the first live-action film based on Mattel’s Barbie dolls.Led by Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken respectively, the film’s ensemble cast also includes America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae and Will Ferrell.The soundtrack is curated and produced by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. As noted in an interview with Time, Ronson and Gerwig created a “dream list” of musicians they wanted to include – including Nicki Minaj and Charli XCX. Every artist they approached was shown the scene from the film where their track would feature.The first single from the album was ‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa, followed by tracks from Karol G and PinkPantheress.

Margot Robbie is not only the star of “Barbie”, she’s also a producer on the hugely anticipated new movie, through her LuckyChap Entertainment production company.

Margot Robbie, the Spice Girls were no feminist wannabes.In fact, the two-time Oscar nominee attributes some of her own ideas about feminism — which she and director Greta Gerwig explore in the much-anticipated “Barbie” movie, out July 21 — to the 1990s British girl group.“The Spice Girls changed everything and dictated my version of second-wave feminism,” Robbie, 33, told Rolling Stone.“It’s like, ‘Oh my God, they wear little sparkly dresses and push-up bras and then have a girl gang? That’s what I want to be!’”Growing up in the ’90s, the Aussie-born Robbie also had a pink passion for the Aqua bop “Barbie Girl.” At the urging of the “Babylon” actress, the 1997 hit was included on the “Barbie” soundtrack — reworked as a “Barbie World” duet featuring rappers Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice.“I was like, ‘Greta, how are we going to incorporate this song? We can’t do a Barbie movie and not have a nod to Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl.’ It has to be in there,’” Robbie told a reporter.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Check out the brain on Barbie! Sure, she’s just a doll, but that doesn’t mean she has to be an airhead. Therein lies “Lady Bird” director Greta Gerwig’s inspired, 21st-century solution to bringing one of America’s most iconic playthings to life on the big screen. Combine that with the casting of Margot Robbie in the title role, and “Barbie” is already starting out on the right, perfectly arched foot. So what if this high-concept comedy falls a bit flat in the final stretch? Barbie’s strength as a brand comes from her aspirational appeal. While some have rightly criticized the doll for setting unrealistic beauty standards, Barbie also showed girls they can do and be anything, as different models have portrayed her as president, a rocket scientist, even trans. You know who else sets unrealistic beauty standards? Movie stars. Like Barbie, they serve as role models, which is what makes Gerwig’s take on the ultra-popular toy line so darn smart. Robbie might be a dead-ringer for Barbie, but her moxie powers the performance. Gerwig has made the kind of family film she surely wishes had been available to her when she was a girl, sneaking a message (several of them, really) inside Barbie’s hollow hourglass figure.

Billie Eilish is bringing on the nostalgia with a new Barbie capsule collection.
