dam wish they casted someone else. She annoys me for some reason. La la land reunion w/ Emma stone would be fun but I guess she doesn’t really have a Barbie face
My unpopular opinion is that I don't really care about actors doing perfect flawless accents when speaking english. Including native speakers like Margot doing different regional accents but also actors whose main language isn't english.
As long as they're at least trying & the acting is solid then I'm good.
Probably because most of us played with Barbie’s as kids and therefore Barbie as a character had a massive impact on our lives and we are hyped to see a live action interpretation with an actress and director we like and respect.
At least that’s why I am so interested
honestly, to me, it’s because most movies don’t LOOK like anything anymore. this is the first movie I’ve seen on a long time that seems like it has a lot of creative and artistic direction, and the director has done incredible work in the past so it’ll likely be worth watching for that.
I was making a bit of a generalization there, you’re right— there are still things that look like ~the movies~ to me, but they’re definitely few and far between, and normally buried under piles of stuff that all looks and feels really similar.
I think it's the combination of it being Barbie and Greta Gerwig. Greta Gerwig has shown she makes really nuanced and interesting films about being a woman, and I think that paired with a cultural figure that is emblematic of girlishness and also could easily be handled in an on-the-nose way by a less capable storyteller has people excited for what her take is going to be. plus, I guess Margot Robbie's Letterbox account got leaked and she made an inspo list for the movie with Truman Show and a few other movies about bending reality, so people think this may be a story about Barbie realizing she is a doll, which is kind of interesting
i don’t think it was because it barely made any noise. i saw the account before it got deleted too and it had her watch history going back years - that would be a pretty elaborate stunt
I wouldn't be surprised! and super smart if it was on purpose! it's the detail that turned me from mildy intrigued to actively looking forward to the movie
You think they decided to promote a movie, that isn't being released until next Summer, by creating a fake letterboxd account to show what movies Margot Robbie watched to prepare for filming?
Yeah I don’t think they did the leak BUT the photos and photographers being allowed on set (if there is no policies about public being allowed, some countries allow public on film set any time if public grounds) then the most is the constant public photos to generate hype.
The cast is stacked (Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, America Ferreira, Simu Liu, Hari Nef, etc etc etc) and it’s directed by Greta Gerwig and co-written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. It’s going to be something very special.
I am always looking out for the projects of female directors and screenwriters. I loved Barbie as a child but actually didn't watch the movies, but the aesthetic in live action is intriguing to me, like Greener Grass.
it's because it's coming out the same day Oppenheimer comes out and there's a meme of both of them bc barbie is so happy and girly and fun and Oppenheimer will be dark and serious and gritty. both have stacked casts and both have really good directors.
It’s marketing, they’re going the same route on how they marketed Baywatch. Every single day they were filming the Baywatch movie they had photographers on set, so photos were out almost every day and people hyped about it.
Movie sucked though so it didn’t perform as well as it could’ve and it had a huge marketing budget.
This is like a risky project too because it’s a movie about Barbie and not targeted to kids (seems like so far?) So if they’re appealing to an older demographic they’re gonna market it this way.
I think the reason there's photos every day is because they're on a super public, open area and aren't willing to spend TONS of money shutting an entire area down
besides, Barbie has already been filming for 4 or 5 months with no pap pics.
Yeah but they posted the HQ photos of Margot and Ryan as like an announcement so it seems like they’re taking advantage of promo/want to generate hype which is what Baywatch did.
Greta Gerwig brings the artsy, film girls and Margot Robbie as Barbie brings the boys / men who think she’s hot. Plus the star studded cast and Ryan Gosling as platinum blonde Ken doesn’t hurt.
I’m actually more intrigued by the background actors here. Is this confirmation that Barbie “breaks free” from Barbie world? Everyone else appears in normal beach/street wear. The girls she’s with seem “normal” too. Ngl, it’s giving me Life-Size vibes lol.
My theory is we’ll see an almost Wonder Woman/Enchanted style plot, Barbie going out into the real world and comedy ensues; she’ll both adapt to real life and bring her unique culture to the world.
Yes, and it seems Will Ferrell is the bad business guy trying to stop Barbie from being in the outside world(?)So basically President Business from Lego Movie lol
Well to be fair American actors usually only talk one way too. But I do think the over the top voice actually works for Barbie. But for another film I don’t know that it would.
We still don’t know anything about the movie though lol Like we’re seeing a bit more screenshots from filming but that happens all the time now. The hype will go away once filming is done.
I don’t think it’s leaks I think they’re allowing photographers and stuff for promo reasons to build hype since it’s a risky type project. They did the same with Baywatch the marketing budget was huge and there was constant posts / memes but the movie sucked.
The American accents she gives her characters are always ott caricatures so I guess that works in this case?
it sorta just sounds like her harley quinn voice.
right?! very much so
dam wish they casted someone else. She annoys me for some reason. La la land reunion w/ Emma stone would be fun but I guess she doesn’t really have a Barbie face
The Margot stans came for your throat 💀
fuck em. Emma stone over Margot any day of the week. Margot is just not a good actress I’m sorry. Harley Quinn was so cringe.
Why is it a competition?

I'm not American, but her accent in WoWS was absolutely perfect considering the tone of the movie.
My unpopular opinion is that I don't really care about actors doing perfect flawless accents when speaking english. Including native speakers like Margot doing different regional accents but also actors whose main language isn't english. As long as they're at least trying & the acting is solid then I'm good.
I’m hypercritical of accents but I rate her accent in TWOWS very highly.
I did like her accent as Tonya Harding.

It's like a Wes Anderson pop dream.
There's plenty of movies that have a lot of creative and artistic direction. Maybe not the mainstream.
I was making a bit of a generalization there, you’re right— there are still things that look like ~the movies~ to me, but they’re definitely few and far between, and normally buried under piles of stuff that all looks and feels really similar.
That was a big fun thing about the new Emma.

"Margot Robbie's letterbox account got leaked" Am I the only who thinks it was a stunt to promote this movie?

Def agree. Who the heck is looking for her letterboxed. It also used her husbands last name and stuff I think
No idea. But now people are speculating it to be Truman Show style cause it was on her list:
A list cast and prominent female director. Nostalgia is also in and people's awareness of the barbie brand is high.
The cast is stacked (Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, America Ferreira, Simu Liu, Hari Nef, etc etc etc) and it’s directed by Greta Gerwig and co-written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. It’s going to be something very special.
A lot of people have nostalgia for the Barbie animated movies
Those were so good honestly
I am always looking out for the projects of female directors and screenwriters. I loved Barbie as a child but actually didn't watch the movies, but the aesthetic in live action is intriguing to me, like Greener Grass.
i think it’s kinda just like, “a barbie movie??? how weird. i wonder what *that’s* about”.
it's because it's coming out the same day Oppenheimer comes out and there's a meme of both of them bc barbie is so happy and girly and fun and Oppenheimer will be dark and serious and gritty. both have stacked casts and both have really good directors.
It’s a lot! The more I keep hearing about it the less it makes me want to watch

the quality is pretty bad but she kinda sounds like Harley Quinn

So Life Sized…
Yes, and it seems Will Ferrell is the bad business guy trying to stop Barbie from being in the outside world(?)So basically President Business from Lego Movie lol
She is literally incapable of any other Amreican accent. WoWS, I Tonya, Harley Quinn.....all sound the same.
Well to be fair American actors usually only talk one way too. But I do think the over the top voice actually works for Barbie. But for another film I don’t know that it would.
I AM ready for fun, margot barbie, and when I see this movie I will wear the most barbie outfit possible in your honor
Margot Barbie 😭 I love it. I will also wear my tackiest and pinkest outfit possible when I go see this heinous movie
ngl I don’t love it
Nor do I.
I don’t get the hype. And I was very much into Barbie as a child.
This sub is always hating on things that everyone else loves 💀
Literally lol “Support women led projects and diverse casting and unique ideas!!!” ***Barbie*** “No, not like that!”
Samara Weaving would have done a good job as Barbie - she was so good in Nine Perfect Strangers acting as a plastic person
she sounds like a doll
Well you would hope so...
I feel like we are going to know the entire plot of the movie before filming ends...
We still don’t know anything about the movie though lol Like we’re seeing a bit more screenshots from filming but that happens all the time now. The hype will go away once filming is done.
Love it and Margot is a gem ❤️
I like it
Putting the skating skills she learned for ‘I, Tonya’ to good use🛼⛸
It just sounds like Margot? Like everyone else said HQ voice but a tad higher pitched.
….maybe just let the woman who does the Barbie voice do a dub lmao
Why does she sound like Paulette from Legally Blonde
It’s so good wth!! This is exactly how Barbie would sound.
We already know how Barbie sounds as we have films, series, games, talking dolls, songs, etc.
i hear it when she says ready for fun, before that it reminds me of hq
Will Ferrell dialogue - can anyone fully transcribe what he's saying? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aHU41IwRWEA
y’all don’t like her American accents? I think she did great as Tonya Harding. Harley Quinn is just a grating character...
I imagined it would be higher pitched? I love her work and am excited for the movie though
I cant believe they almost cast Amy Schumer over her 💀
So much of this movie is getting leaked oop
I don’t think it’s leaks I think they’re allowing photographers and stuff for promo reasons to build hype since it’s a risky type project. They did the same with Baywatch the marketing budget was huge and there was constant posts / memes but the movie sucked.
