How Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig brought #Barbie to life https://t.co/AOF6xsXZGG pic.twitter.com/Vg0oP22vMO

*Movie described by reporter as 'fun yet self aware romp with shades of Clueless and Legally Blonde'
* Most actors signed on solely based on Gerwig at the helm
* A Mattel exec flew to filming to dispute one of the scenes as 'off brand' but was able to be convinced otherwise.
The #Barbie Dream Houses were built without walls so the actors had to be attached to wires to make sure they didn’t topple off the top floors of their homes when they got out of bed.
But the cast says everything else in their Dream Houses was functional https://t.co/yBMrRSuair

* Gerwig and production had a 'Barbie boot camp' to ensure details would be right
* The sets are all handpainted to evoke wonder & an old hollywood feel
* 'In fact, everything in Barbie Land is built to a specific scale to look “toyetic.” “The scale is not life-like,” says Lisa McKnight, the executive vice president at Mattel whose job is specifically to oversee the marketing of Barbie and dolls.'
Greta Gerwig calls #Barbie a “surprising spicy margarita.” By the time you realize the salted rim has cayenne mixed in, it’s too late. “You can already taste the sweetness and you sort of go with the spice” https://t.co/9mL7bNcHGQ pic.twitter.com/f1rsgACIe5

Margot Robbie says @chrissyteigen's tweet inspired a whole conversation about *that* #Barbie foot shot: "They're my feet. We probably did eight takes. No, I wasn't wearing a harness, but I did hold onto a bar when I got there so I was steady" https://t.co/17gAqwYZbT pic.twitter.com/9CIebIDPpv
