Barbie and Ken will be played by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling
Barbie will be plastic no more because she is going to go live-action. I am not talking about the Music Video of an Aqua song. A live-action Barbie movie is under development. Margot Robbie who is iconic for player Harley Quinn and Tonya Harding. Now She will play the iconic doll. The movie was originally offered for Amy Schumer was originally going to play the role but things didn’t work out. Anne Hathaway almost got the role as well but in the end, Robbie gets to play another Iconic blond. Margot looks like a real-life Barbie and it’s mind-blowing that she is not the first choice.
Ryan Gosling is announced to play Ken in this live-action film about the iconic doll. It will not explore the lore of Barbara Roberts. The doll has its lore and history but this film will be stand-alone from that.
Barbieland is a realm where the most perfect of all Barbies reside.
We know these dolls are the fantasy of an ideal woman who is beautiful, fashionable, smart, and pursues all careers she can think of. She is a symbol of a woman who can do everything.
Barbie got expelled from that world into the human world because she is not perfect enough.
Barbie is like an epitome of an overachiever, Just look at all the jobs and careers she ever had. She even became an Astronaut or a President at a certain point. So what makes Robbie’s Barbie imperfect?
The synopses remind me of the Lindsey Lohan and Tyra Banks movie Life-Size. It is also about a fashion doll who came to life and its sequel made the Eve dolls have their own realm too. There is a chance that Robbie will pull an Orphan Black. She might play the other varieties of Barbie.
