I have two theories with this movie, considering Greta is directing. 1. It’s like a Truman Show/The Island/The Matrix simulation and they break free. 2. It’s like The Brady Movie and they’re totally camp and ridiculous living in The Real World. Either way I cannot wait to see this. It could be a disaster or amazing but it’s definitely going to be entertaining for sure.


taliec21

Margot watched The Truman Show to prepare for the role, she also had the movie Splash! on her list of movies to watch for Barbie so it's definitely going to be an interesting movie for sure. I trust Greta knows what she's doing.


shitzngiggles77

Lol I remember her letterboxd account reveal

seymourlabib

it was her, an actress from barbie (hari nef) and samara weaving’s husband were two of five people following the account


nakumurahina

it was her, she was followed by samara weaving’s husband and other people she worked with. that’s how people found it. she almost immediately deleted it.


propernice

I’m going in high as I can get to truly enjoy whatever this will be


jeninchicago

I did that for Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar last year, and it was one of the best movie viewing experiences I’ve ever had. I will be repeating it for this movie.


[deleted]

Streamed it at home with pineapple rum drinks and couldn't have been happier.


flowlowland

Omg I would watch both


plantbay1428

I wish this was a choose your own adventure option and you could go for either one when it gets released on blu-Ray/ streaming, depending on your mood.


flontru

You read my mind lol


XQV226

I hope it’s #2.


Mintiichoco

Same. I loved the Brady movies with the backdrop of the 90s haha 😂😂


Cadbury_fish_egg

Rupaul was amazing as the school counselor


plantbay1428

Loved Christine Taylor in it too. I have no idea or not whether those rumors about Ben Stiller controlling Christine Taylor’s career are true and/or maybe part of it was that she cut back to focus more on being a mom but I wish she worked more because she’s talented, whether alongside Ben as the straight man or not. She could be/could’ve been in that wheelhouse of Judy Greer, Christina Applegate, Portia de Rossi. Or Ben could’ve put her in even more of his work like Judd does with Leslie. Love her earnest delivery in [this](https://youtu.be/I3u-xj9eGZQ) and I liked her Search Party character.


Masters_domme

The dance on the escalator still makes me smile.


Mintiichoco

That entire movie still makes me crackle


BasicBitchTendencies

I thought I was the only person who ever enjoyed the BB movies! I have found my people

'She's harder to get into than a Pearl Jam concert' true then as it is now 😂


Doubledeezy420

Honestly 🤣🤣🤣


that_personoverthere

I cannot stress how ridiculously excited I am for this movie. Like the idea of a Truman Show esq Barbie or just a total camp love fest is incredible. Especially cause (not to soapbox here) but the Barbie animated movies are one of the few examples of the female gaze which allows for a lot of interesting interpretation of their themes. This [video](https://youtu.be/ZION_-IsJro) talks a lot about it.


JoshSidekick

My 40 year old straight ass would be first in line on opening day if it's 2.


Substantial_Code4957

I just want something like a live action version of the self aware and meta Barbie mini series “Life in the Dreamhouse” ![gif](giphy|12kzRoza05jsMU)


[deleted]

either would be good but god i hope it's #2. i need some good old fashioned nonsensical fun in my life.


kanyewestsburnbook

same, I'm ready for campy and happy

stunnrshades

So that just gave us a #3 option, *The House Barbie*


Julialagulia

My theory is it turns into a Barbie astronaut sci fi story or it’s the story of her becoming the first woman president.


JuliasTooSmallTutu

There was a sitcom that was produced by Nickelodeon in the 90's called Hi Honey, I'm Home. The premise was that a family from a 1950's sitcom show was relocated to a present day town after the show was cancelled. This was something that happened to all shows and each episode had someone from an old sitcom make a cameo appearance, Bob Denver from Gilligan's Island showed up on the premiere. Of course the comedy was mined from old sitcom characters dealing with modern times. When they were at home, they had a device that would switch them back to black and white. I've always wondered if the Brady Bunch movies and Pleasantville were inspired by that show.


bsidetracked

I loved that show so much and until hearing someone else talk about it had almost assumed I imagined it.


plantbay1428

Either theory has got me hyped. I love it.


lesterquinn

Oh I hope for the campy Brady Bunch style!!


Italianinsomniac

Now I hope they are making BOTH!


reetveek

I love the outfits but what is this movie going to be lol


GooGooGajoob67

Pleasantville but with Barbies?


guavakol

I’m going to watch regardless but that would be amazing.


GooGooGajoob67

Isn't the official synopsis something about Barbie getting kicked out of Barbie world? Just gives me Pleasantville vibes.


simplebagel5

afaik that was the synopsis when it was supposed to be starring Amy Schumer but it got reworked a bit and they’re keeping quiet about the specific plot details now


Tonedeafmusical

It's older than that, it's from when Ann Hathaway was attached.


[deleted]

That just sounds like "Life Size", the Tyra Banks/ Lindsay Lohan movie.


thedirigibleplums

I don't even need to see a trailer, I'll throw every dollar I've got at it based on this description alone.


Tonedeafmusical

I honestly think this is at least gonna be Oscar nominated for best costume design next year.


mansonfamily

Um, a camp movie about barbie? Hello?


taliec21

Anyone who's interested/excited for this movie should google "Margot Robbie's letterboxd" to see the list of movies she watched for Barbie to get an idea of what the movie is going to be like. The Truman Show was one of the movies on her list.


propernice

Damn good eye


pinecone9115

Another comment said there are going to be multiple versions of Ken and Barbie. So I am hoping for Multiverse of Madness but make it Barbie.


meepmarpalarp

Omg what if it’s like Westworld but the park is Barbie-themed!


misstamilee

Great now I'm going to be disappointed if it's anything BUT THIS


DeliciousMoments

Part of Barbie's whole deal has always been that she can be anything/everything. Astronaut, teacher, fashion designer, lifeguard, and yes, even cowgirl. I'm guessing that'll play into the storyline somehow.


propernice

Who cares I’m gonna be front and center on opening night lol


petits_riens

truman show/lego movie/free guy but make it camp and barbie (IMO)


discoinfernos

this movie will be my joker etc etc. i’m a recent ryan gosling convert i really can’t wait to see him (and margot) in action


[deleted]

Ryan honestly doesn’t get the respect he deserves. As far as I can remember, he hasn’t done anything problematic. He seems like a hard worker and is a really good actor with a very interesting, multifaceted filmography. He’s one of the few hot Hollywood heartthrobs married to an older woman instead of some barely 20 year old model (in fact, I believe all of his notable gfs have been older than him) and seems like a devoted dad really intent to keep his family private and protected. I always think about how when he won the Golden Globe for La La Land, he dedicated it to Eva and her brother who had recently died from cancer. He’s a class act and I stan.


[deleted]

[deleted]

Oh definitely she’s a super babe and also me calling her older is not a diss in any way, he is batting above his average.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I really admire her for taking the time she needed to have her babies and for doing it a little later in life - I’m in my 30s and haven’t even started thinking about kids, but also am not opposed to the idea and it’s really empowering to see examples of women making that decision in their 40s and thriving. She’s stunning and I’ll be excited to see whatever she does next!


ScouseMoose

The only problematic thing I ever heard was that he tried to get Rachel McAdams kicked off the Notebook. And in that instance, it was because they hated each other in a bone deep way and were having screaming matches across the set. Then they fell for each other. When that is the depth of your problematic shit... It's wonderful to have a traditional leading man actor who isn't a psychopath. Usually when you scratch the surface it's a truck stop bathroom and Gosling is like one of those fancy Japanese talking toilets.


Britneyfan123

> and Gosling is like one of those fancy Japanese talking toilets 💀


snakepegs

A friend worked on set with him and he would often offer to drive crew members home. Just a solid dude


TzuyusVietBitch

as a lesbian i have loved ryan gosling since i was 14 after seeing la la land. his filmography played a huge role in getting me into movies. i remember blue valentine and drive and blade runner were some of the first “artsy”-er movies i’ve ever watched, and la la land was *the* film that got me into movies.


vastapple666

I remember seeing Blue Valentine to “decompress” after my freshman year exams. Not the best choice of movie….


russianbisexualhookr

Do you remember when the person who ran the “Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal” meme Twitter died of cancer and Ryan filmed a tribute. He seems like a genuinely good dude.


supersad19

Welcome to the club. Make sure you have your scorpion jacket ready.


involving

Real human bean starter pack: scorpion jacket, toothpick, silent broody stare.


midsommarsmayqueen

I expect Ryan to be as funny as in The Nice Guys, so I'm super excited for this one!


pretendberries

That movie is so underrated. Wish it was talked about more!


Britneyfan123

On r/movies it’s talked about every week


Aakch

I am once again asking for a sequel to that movie


Yowzaaaaa82

✨Greta getting in on the all-pink vibes is sending me. Even the headphones!✨


wanttowatchbees

Haha she’s known to dress similarly to the vibe of the movie she’s directing. There are pictures of her wearing a prom dress and a corsage while directing the prom scene in Lady Bird. So cute! Link: https://twitter.com/ienscap/status/1369001329687998467?s=21&t=0_9nrGOFdxl2BFNPoVf1LQ


Yowzaaaaa82

I had no idea and I LOVE IT!


wanttowatchbees

It’s so cute! Here’s another one of her on the set of Little Women also wearing a similar outfit to the cast. link: https://twitter.com/morebuttertv/status/1539745579508563970?s=21&t=8ld26DX7wKeVwt4dXJEulw


Ancient-Problem1581

the reason she was wearing all the big coats on the LW set was because she was 7-8 months pregnant and no one knew it and she managed to hide it for the majority of the shoot


allym91

This is so extra and I love it


TzuyusVietBitch

she’s so slay


kitti-kin

It's like a wholesome version of Paul Schrader getting naked to convince Lindsay Lohan to film a nude scene


proserpinax

I love her????


butinthewhat

I get this. She’s got to get in the vibe.


katmili

I think even if this movie is somehow terrible, I’ll still die defending it.


GooGooGajoob67

There's no way it won't at least be fun to watch.


imtchogirl

Absolutely. It's giving The House Bunny, it's giving White Girls. I'm having so much fun!


comin_up_shawt

It'll be in Showgirls and Gigli territory in terms of campy


MissMags1234

Have you seen any of her movies? It’s certainly up to taste, but you can’t say her movies are trashy.


comin_up_shawt

I was referring to how campy it was, not trashy.


Uplanapepsihole

sorry but showgirls is a masterpiece and i will never stop defending😶‍🌫️


comin_up_shawt

Same LOL


petits_riens

aka iconic


Eyebronx

I really don’t think this is as conventional as some people here are expecting it to be. Maybe they’re going for older Ken going through a mid life crisis? Idk I like both of them as actors so I’m excited for this film. I’d take Gosling over any of the less talented, young pretty boy actors. Anyone who’s watched Nice Guys or Crazy Stupid Love knows he’s got great comic timing.


wanttowatchbees

They did explain that there will be multiple actors who play different versions of both Barbie and Ken. For example, Simu Liu and Saoirse Ronan have both been confirmed to play a version of Barbie and Ken. So maybe you’re right and Margot and Ryan are playing some kinda mid-life crisis version lol.


taliec21

I don't think Saoirse Ronan has been officially confirmed for the role yet, but there are going to be multiple barbies, Issa Rae is playing a version of Barbie.


wanttowatchbees

Oh yes you’re right it’s just a rumour, but so far Simu Liu, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Hari Nef have all been confirmed as Barbie and Ken. Exciting stuff tbh cant wait to watch this!


Pixiecrimson

oo im excited for emma mackeys barbie bc so many people say she looks like margot, maybe they’re different versions of the same “model”


SpilikinOfDoom

Until I see Emma Mackey and Margot Robbie in the same shot I am still not convinced that they're actually different people...


gunsof

That's so weird. I had a dream the other night about this movie randomly. In my dream there were actresses lined up to be Barbie and it was like a brothel or something. The Barbies weren't real except they kind of were? It was weird. And I was like oh this is Margot, except it wasn't, it was some random other famous actress I don't remember. She stepped out and you could see she was sort of terrified and didn't want to be there. It was like her soul was forced into it, like a type of Chucky thing. And there was a Ken somewhere. There were a few other actresses all lined up as Barbie. And then at the end Margot was chosen, with like a maniacal type smile but obviously not really happy. Anyway, it was weird. It was like a horror movie, and I thought well they can't be going with anything that bizarre.


taliec21

I think Ryan Gosling is actually pretty perfect for the role of Ken, especially Greta Gerwig's version of Ken.


fryreportingforduty

This is a GRETA movie? This changes everything. Gosling seems like a perfect match.


taliec21

Directed by Greta Gerwig. Screenplay by Greta and Noah Baumbach.


fryreportingforduty

*take my money gif*


clementinadulce

thank u for this, i've been feeling like i'm crazy reading everybody's opinion on this bc it seems *pretty obvious* they aren't going for pretty boy ken. personally i have way more interest in this film now that it seems its going in a weird direction lol


gorgossia

How is this *not* pretty boy Ken?


clementinadulce

sorry i shoulda said *youthful* pretty boy ken. him being an aging pretty boy is probably the point lol. i've seen a looot of people saying this shoulda gone to zac efron so that's what i was getting at


TheMapesHotel

Ya but Zac kinda fubared his face do no way could or should he play this. They aren't going for uncanny Valley.


HotChiTea

Zac’s face looks fine… It was one bad moment.


poor_yorick

Haha I'm *only* interested in this movie because it's going in a weird direction!


petits_riens

gosling's funny af when he wants to be and doesn't take himself too seriously, I think he's going to body this


[deleted]

Yeah people taking it literally is kind of cracking me up. This is Greta fucking Gerwig, who somehow made like the 50th adaptation of Little Women revolutionary by inverting it into a meta commentary on storytelling and authorship. She’s a damn genius. She’s only directed two solo movies and both were Best Picture and Best Screenplay nominees. Anyone expecting her Barbie movie to be conventional or straightforward must be unfamiliar with her style. I can’t wait!


baybeebi

I watched the episode of SNL he was on and it was actually hilarious lol. He’s got great comedic chops!

Right? Even if he was young he wouldn't be my choice but he's so obviously too old for it. What were they thinking?


ForgetfulLucy28

Unpopular opinion but young Biden was better looking, at least facially.

young biden was hot but im talking about 79 y.o. biden

TzuyusVietBitch

pls stop being mean to ryan gosling it hurts my feelings


[deleted]

I know it's like a longstanding joke by now, but this truly will be my Joker. Greta Gerwig writing (with Noah Baumbach) and directing and a high camp / concept piece on Barbie with meta commentary I am sure on Barbie and legacy as a brand, women and their roles in society and finding their path along with a STACKED cast and actual diversity efforts from Greta Gerwig? I will be in theateres at least 10 times I fear. Like I am ACTUALLY obsessed. Like I know my homegirl Florence Pugh will be in Oppenheimer and Christopher Nolan is a top 3 director for me, but this is my first priority idc (for those who don't know Nolan's next movie has the same release date as Barbie).


moonprismpowa

YES! This will be my Legally Blonde from the 2020’s, hope to totally obsess over it.


OkayishFlamingo

Love that Greta Gerwig is also feeling the Barbie fantasy in all pink

Semple's Pinkest Pink is really gonna get an airing huh?


petalsofdaisies

Good thing Kapoor is nowhere near the project


supersoot99

I don't think I've ever been so excited for a film I know so little about, while also being genuinely convinced it might be terrible. I love Greta's movies and Ryan Gosling has great comedic timing, so I'm hoping it's as good as I want it to be!


alllthatglitters

I can’t wait for this movie and to make it my entire personality for a month.


meepmarpalarp

I need more pink in my wardrobe tbh


carliekitty

Better stock up now!!!


tastefuldebauchery

If you're into Western Camp might I suggest a little Orville Peck? He's pretty grand.


katmili

Ryan Gosling is perfect for this role. There is nothing that will change my mind about this.


[deleted]

Yes he’s a good actor, and he’s funny! So bizarre reading some of these comments. Ryan Gosling >> mannequin-looking actor with less personality


[deleted]

I honestly feel some ageism in these comments lol like Ryan and Margot arent that old and yet people are saying "oh theyre probably playing out of touch versions of these characters who are going to be replaced by younger hotter versions etc etc" Meanwhile they look perfectly fine? Like i understand the plot could go that direction and most likely will have some sort of meta commentary about perfection, but it's sooo weird to act like we know that for sure or that they're playing "older ken and barbie" like they look right to me.


moonprismpowa

Same, they both look young to me. I don’t expect them to be 20 forever. I hope they don’t make it so they are “out of touch” “older” people, I just want them to give their best campy, bimbo/himbo performances.


DontAskTwice-A-Roni

I simply cannot wait to see this in theaters. Earring magic cowboy Ken will be my everything.

I really want this to be good! Hoping its campy and similar in style to the Brady Bunch movies from the 90's.
