Barbie is an upcoming film based on the eponymous toyline by Mattel and directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay written by herself and Noah Baumbach. It is the first live-action film based on the fashion doll after a series of animated films and television series and stars Margot Robbie as the titular character and Ryan Gosling as her male counterpart Ken.

Development for the film originally began in 2014 at Sony Pictures. Following multiple writer and director changes and the casting of two different actresses to play the title character, Sony's option expired, and the rights were transferred to Warner Bros. Pictures. Robbie was cast in 2019 and also serves as a producer under LuckyChap Entertainment alongside Mattel Films and Heyday Films. Gerwig was confirmed as director and co-writer with Baumbach in 2021. Principal photography began in March 2022 at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England.

Barbie is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 21, 2023.

Production

Development of a film based on the Barbie toy line began in September 2009, when it was announced that Mattel had signed a partnership to develop the movie with Universal Pictures and with Laurence Mark as producer, but this did not materialize.[1] In April 2014, Mattel teamed with Sony Pictures to produce the project, which would have Jenny Bicks writing the screenplay and Laurie Macdonald and Walter F. Parkes producing through their Parkes+MacDonald Image Nation banner. Filming at the time was anticipated to begin by the end of the year.[2] In March 2015, Diablo Cody was brought onto the project to rewrite the screenplay, and Amy Pascal joined the producing team.[3] Sony would again have rewrites done to the screenplay later that year, hiring Lindsey Beer, Bert V. Royal and Hilary Winston to write drafts.[4]

In December 2016, Amy Schumer entered negotiations to star in the title role, with the Winston screenplay being used that would be rewritten by Winston and her sister Kim Caramele.[5] In March 2017, due to scheduling conflicts with the planned June 2017 filming start, Schumer exited negotiations.[6] In July 2017, Anne Hathaway began circling the title role, with Sony hiring Olivia Milch to rewrite the screenplay and approaching Alethea Jones to direct as a means to interest Hathaway into signing on.[7] Jones was attached to direct by March 2018.[8] However, the expiration of Sony's option on the project in October 2018 and its transfer to Warner Bros. Pictures would see the departures of Hathaway, Jones, Macdonald, Parkes, and Pascal. Margot Robbie would enter early talks for the role, with Patty Jenkins briefly circling the director position.[9] Robbie's casting was confirmed in July 2019, with Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach now penning the screenplay.[10] Gerwig officially signed on to direct the film in July 2021.[11] Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Robbie said the film's goal was to subvert expectations:

In October, Ryan Gosling entered final negotiations to play Ken in the film.[12] Gosling and the rest of the cast were confirmed to star in the first half of 2022.[13] Principal photography began in March 2022, at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England.[14]

Release

The film is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on July 21, 2023, taking over the original release date of Coyote vs. Acme.[15] It was previously set for June 2, 2017, May 12, 2017, June 29, 2018, August 8, 2018, and May 8, 2020.[16][17][18][19][20]
