Amy Schumer’s #Barbie pitch was reportedly more comedic but “made Barbie the butt of the joke,” according to Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz.

I’ve not liked anything involving Amy Schumer

Margot is def a hustler. In the Vogue interview she mentioned that purposely kept close tabs on the Barbie development from when Amy was mentioned to Anne casting. She said she herself never really played with Barbies as a kid only when she visited her cousin who did.

But she saw the appeal of the IP and Barbie's overall pop culture popularity which is why she went for it after the Anne Hathaway thing went south.

My girl making money moves.

I like Margot a lot but I wouldn’t give her too much credit given her last few films have been huge misses lol. She’s made some bad choices of late tbh.

That being said this could be her legally blonde moment. She really should take notes on Reese’s career moves because they have similar strengths (not just because of the blonde thing!) and Reese has had a very enviable career all things considered.

Oh yeah she's made some blips there although the stuff she's produced with her production company has done well (except for BOP).

Funny enough I was discussing with another user a while back on how if they had this Barbie movie in the early 00s, I could've seen Reese as the Barbie character. And in some ways Elle Woods and Barbie are the same character to a degree lol.

That and she did it through her production company. Very smart indeed.

I'll be watching the movie in San Diego for Comic Con Thursday cosplaying the pink gingham sundress--cannot wait for cinematic bliss!

Jesus I wish I could fast forward two months so I don't have to keep reading shit about this movie.

I am so hyped for the posts after Barbie premieres. It's been a long time since I've been this curious for how a movie will turn out!

Boo, tomato, tomato, I'm throwing tomatoes

the good part is that....you don't even have to do that now!

Is there a reason the media can't stop talking about what the Barbie movie could have been? It's not like it's uncommon for movies to move between different hands and change direction.

Cause people like me like getting prematurely vindicated.
