Margot Robbie has revealed her sole condition for starring in the upcoming Barbie movie. With a diverse range of roles under her belt, including Harley Quinn, Tonya Harding, and Queen Elizabeth I, Robbie is now gearing up to portray one of the most iconic dolls in toy history. Directed by Greta Gerwig, the highly anticipated Barbie film follows Robbie’s character as she leads a picture-perfect life within her Dreamhouse. However, everything changes when she and her athletic partner Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) are unexpectedly transported to the real world. In this new reality, they discover that it may not be as idyllic as world of pink plastic houses, cheerful companions, and beach adventures.
Margot Robbie’s Vision for the Movie: Going Beyond Playful Details
As the release date for the Barbie movie draws near, Margot Robbie recently made an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. During her interview, she shared insights about her role in the highly-anticipated film and discussed a particular request she had for director Gerwig before filming commenced. In the latest Barbie trailer, it was revealed that Robbie’s wish for a slide connecting Barbie’s bedroom to her pool was granted. However, Robbie’s vision for the character of Barbie extends beyond playful details and features in the Dreamhouse. In a recent interview with Vogue, the actress expressed her specific ideas about the essence of Barbie and the characteristics that define her.
Intrigued by the script: Robbie’s Initial Reaction
When Margot Robbie first caught a glimpse of the script written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach for the movie, she couldn’t contain her excitement. “The first time I read the Barbie script, my reaction was, ‘Ah! This is so good,'” Robbie recently shared with BAFTA. However, she also expressed doubt that the film would ever see the light of day, believing that the project would not be approved for production.
Against the odds, Barbie did come to fruition, featuring Robbie’s much-desired Dreamhouse slide as showcased in the latest trailer. This trailer promises a movie that appeals to both Barbie enthusiasts and those who may not be fond of the iconic doll. While the exact implications of this statement remain a mystery, it is clear that Gerwig, Robbie, and the creative team had something more ambitious in mind for Barbie beyond a conventional tie-in or toy adaptation. The film aims to be a whimsical and thought-provoking experience, going beyond the usual expectations of toy-inspired franchises. Nonetheless, it also promises to provide an ample dose of delightful and family-friendly summer entertainment.
