In 2019, Margot Robbie will portray Barbie. However, already in 2015, the producers hired Diablo Cody to work on the script of the film about this heroine and entrusted the role to Amy Schumer. What happened that the comedian finally did not appear on the screen in this role and what was that title supposed to be about?
Amy Schumer wanted to play Barbie but blew the script
In that scenario, Barbie (Schumer), an ambitious inventor, would be kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough. Four months after starting work on the project, however, the actress quit, citing scheduling conflicts at the time. In June this year, when Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” was already a rushing promotional machine with a close premiere, she revealed the real reason:
I can’t wait to see this movie. I think it looks amazing. I think I said it had [jej rezygnacja – red.] to do with the scheduling conflict, but it was really just that I had a different artistic vision at the time [na ten film – red.]. However, a new crew has taken care of him, and it seems that he has become very feminist and cool.
“In 2014, making this skinny blonde white doll and making her a heroine was quite a challenge”
What the screenwriters wrote at that time was, according to Schumer, not feminist enough. Diablo Cody later admits that she fell for that scenario. – When they hired me, I don’t think that the culture hasn’t yet adopted the phenomenon of “femme” (both physically and mentally strong woman – ed.) or “Bimbo” (“bimbo”, using strong attributes of femininity – ed.) as important feminist archetypes. If you look at “Barbie” on TikTok, you’ll find a wonderful subculture that celebrates femininity, but in 2014, making this skinny blonde white doll and making her a heroine was quite a challenge.
Meanwhile, on July 21, Greta Gerwid’s film, which collects the first very, will enter the cinemas. “It’s both pinker and barbie-climatic than all the Mattel Barbie animations put together, and at the same time it’s smart (not to say intelligent) and easily digestible (well, maybe not for misogynists) entertainment. Margot Robbie really was born to play this Barbie, and Ryan Gosling should get something better than an Oscar for how he beat Ken, including the respect of street people” – .
