Did we live in it?” she says. “Probably not. But many lived in something that looked a little bit like this.”
Also in the pic were Alexandra Shipp and Ana Cruz Kayne, plus a few other members of the studio ensemble. This cast is truly wild, making it extra funny that Barbie is scheduled to open on the same day as another 2023 movie with a ridiculously huge and impressive all-star cast, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Barbie’s dream house seemingly has it all. But hear me out: Weird Barbie’s house in the new movie Barbie is actually the best home in Barbie Land. Although it may not have essentials, like a kitchen, or fun amenities, like a spiral slide, certain elements cement it as a desirable piece of toy real estate. It’s see-through, so we can see each other,” Robbie explains in a movie trailer that explores the set of the Barbie movie, which opens next month. “All the Barbies in their own Barbie dream houses wake up in the morning and they can wave at each other.”People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t...,” Robbie told British Vogue. It was very, very top end at that time,” Quinn says. “Very few people owned them, but they were wildly publicised in home magazines. They’re coloured pink in the Barbie house, but are still in production.” To help Robbie get into character, Gerwig recommended listening to an episode of the podcast This American Life where a woman doesn't introspect. “You know how you have a voice in your head all the time?” Robbie told Vogue. “This woman, she doesn’t have that voice in her head.”
If you've already seen "Barbie" and want to read more, Gerwig took us on a spoiler-filled deep dive into the movie's brilliant last line, along with the real-life history of the doll's creator. Rob Thomas also opened up about Gosling's inspired cover of Matchbox Twenty in the film, and we took a look at Ferrera's powerful monologue that is resonating with viewers. Who created Barbie?
Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, ‘Oh, Margot is playing Barbie. I know what that is,’ but our goal is to be like, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different — the thing you didn’t know you wanted,’” Robbie said. “Now, can we truly honor the IP and the fan base and also surprise people? Because if we can do all that and provoke a thoughtful conversation, then we’re really firing on all cylinders.”
It's very interesting because everybody says, Oh my God, it's just like a dream house I used to have," Greenwood says. "And you go, Well, maybe that's what it feels like, which is good, but it's not a dream house. It's the feeling of a dream house." Stereotypical Barbie's dream house has so many details viewers won't want to miss. Robbie trusted Gerwig, but she had a simple request before singing on. “I’ll follow your vision. Whatever you want this Barbie movie to be, let’s do that. Except I just have one favor,” she recalled telling the director on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Please, please, please can we have a Dreamhouse where she has a slide that goes from her bedroom down to her pool, because that is my goal in life.” We get it. Is production for Barbie over? There were then talks that Anne Hathaway might star, but in 2018, after no movie had been made, Sony’s options to the Barbie rights expired and Warner Bros. took them over, eventually resulting in the upcoming Gerwig and Robbie film. Barbie herself is living her best life in her perfect Barbie world, partying of an evening with Barbies who are political leaders, supreme court judges and Nobel laureates (including Dua Lipa and Issa Rae), and a castrato chorus of beach-bunny Ken clones (including John Cena and Simu Liu) and Ken’s gloomy beta-male mate Allan (Michael Cera) when suddenly she is assailed with the terrible thought of dying.
Gerwig was influenced by Old Hollywood
If you are willing to pay hundreds for a games console then this is comparable and a young child may get as much, if not more from it. Barbie is ideal for cooperative play and kids and their friends can act out stories in the dream house, it’s a powerful motivator for imagination.
Barbie is a massive star-studded production featuring multiple Barbies, Kens, and humans. After long keeping character details close to the vest, the film shared its full roster on social media. But only a bit. Modernist houses didn’t try to hide their “materiality”, or cover over what they were made with. The original Barbie Dreamhouse, a cardboard fold-out home, was bright blue and yellow, with wood-coloured furniture.
It felt like we had to give the counterargument to Barbie, and not give it short shrift, but give it real intellectual and emotional power,” she said. “And Mattel was incredibly open to it. I said, ‘We have to explore it, because it’s a lie any other way. And we can’t make it a lie.’ I think they heard it.” Is there a trailer? Even though the homes were scaled down, they were still large structures. "When people were on the top bedroom floor, they had to be wired off," Spencer tells House Beautiful. "It was high. It was real. There's no fakery there." Constructing the dream houses was an enormous engineering challenge.
