Ever since those internet-breaking photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on the set of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” were leaked last summer, the color pink has become omnipresent and Mattel’s plastic doll a style muse to everyone from Kim Kardashian to Lizzo to Conan Gray to Machine Gun Kelly. As the Warner Bros. film’s anticipated July 21 release inches closer, more and more brands have hopped on the Barbie-core train to launch their own pink-hued, Barbie-inspired collections. The affordable haircare company Kitsch is the most recent brand to Barbie-fy their products, with a new line of accessories whose rhinestone details and neon colorways would look right at home in the famed Malibu Dreamhouse.

Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy take in the view of the rolling hills of Antibes. The sun beats down so fiercely on a lily-white tablecloth that the co-CEOs and co-chairpeople of the Warner Bros. Film Group shield themselves with Gucci and Ray-Ban shades. They resemble the all-powerful studio chiefs of yore — or at least their surroundings do. A lot has changed since the Golden Age of Hollywood: Jack Warner didn’t have two smartphones constantly buzzing, misconduct allegations involving “The Flash” star Ezra Miller and cratering share prices to worry about. “It’s so competitive now,” De Luca says, looking out at the shimmering water. “We all have to sing for our supper.”

Cuarón won the Best Director prize and Bullock also got nominated for Best Actress.Angelina Jolie was originally offered the role but she turned down the part which led to Bullock, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts, Carey Mulligan and Johansson being contacted.Speaking about her audition, she told Entertainment Tonight: “I did a screen test for the movie Gravity, that Sandra Bullock is fantastic in, but I had to be in like the full, whole space suit thing, and sort of pretend I was kind of like floating in space.

Margot Robbie has revealed the one request she made to director Greta Gerwig before filming the new Barbie movie.Set for release on July 21, Gerwig’s film stars Robbie in the titular role, with Ryan Gosling as Ken.Speaking about the film in an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Robbie discussed how she fell in love with the character as a child when she was gifted a Barbie Dreamhouse for Christmas.Such was the impact the gift had on her, that she revealed she asked Gerwig to allow her to live out the real-life fantasy of the Dreamhouse in the film.“I’ll follow your vision. Whatever you want this Barbie movie to be, let’s do that,” she remembers telling the director.

Barbie film has revealed that Ryan Gosling‘s Ken was given far fewer clothing options compared to Margot Robbie‘s titular character.Speaking to British Vogue, designer Jacqueline Durran shared that the character of Ken – portrayed by Gosling – plays second fiddle to Robbie’s Barbie in the film, at least when it comes to fashion.“No one cares about Ken, everybody just wants to play with Barbie. He matches Barbie and changes too but he has very, very, many less options,” Durran said. As Durran puts it, Ken’s primary job in the film was to be “beach”, with his wardrobe consisting mainly of retro sportswear.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director When it came to designing and creating the costumes for Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” movie, the focus was put far more on Margot Robbie’s eponymous doll than it was on Ryan Gosling’s Ken. As the film’s costume designer, Jacqueline Durran, recently told Vogue UK, “No one cares about Ken, everybody just wants to play with Barbie. He matches Barbie and changes too but he has very, very, many less [clothes] options.” Durran, who won an Oscar for her costume designs on Gerwig’s “Little Women” adaptation, said colorful ’80s sportswear was the key to Ken’s looks in the movie. “Retro sportswear is one area where we did a lot of shopping for Ken,” Durran said. “He is sporty. That’s his main thing. We had buyers in America that went to dealers and imported it for us because we needed so much of it.”

Amy Schumer wasn’t feeling right about living in Barbie’s dreamhouse. So she chose another career path.

Next month, the battle between summer blockbusters gets fully underway, with “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” “Barbie,” and Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” slugging it out for box office supremacy.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Long before Margot Robbie boarded the “Barbie” movie and got Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach to write the screenplay, it was Amy Schumer who was set to headline the project. Back in 2016, Sony Pictures had the rights to “Barbie” and cast Schumer to star in a movie based on an original idea and screenplay by Hilary Winston. Schumer and her sister, Kim Caramele, planned rewrites, but the comedian exited the movie less than a year later. “Sadly, I’m no longer able to commit to Barbie due to scheduling conflicts,” the actor said in a statement to Variety at the time. “The film has so much promise, and Sony and Mattel have been great partners. I’m bummed, but look forward to seeing Barbie on the big screen.”
