The second teaser trailer for Warner Bros “Barbie” is out and it’s getting lots of attention. Margot Robbie embodies the iconic figurine of Barbie with Ryan Gosling playing the role of Ken. Along with these two actors, other stars take on various versions of Barbie and Ken, such as Dua Lipa as mermaid Barbie.
Who better to helm this film of iconic toys than Oscar-nominated writer/director Greta Gerwig (Little Women, Lady Bird)
Gerwig directed Barbie from a screenplay by her and Oscar nominee Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story, The Squid and the Whale), based on Barbie by Mattel. The film’s producers are Oscar nominee David Heyman (Marriage Story, Gravity), Robbie, Tom Ackerley and Robbie Brenner, with Michael Sharp, Josey McNamara, Ynon Kreiz, Courtenay Valenti, Toby Emmerich and Cate Adams serving as executive producers.
Gerwig’s creative team behind the camera included Oscar-nominated director of photography Rodrigo Prieto (The Irishman, Silence, Brokeback Mountain), six-time Oscar-nominated production designer Sarah Greenwood (Beauty and the Beast, Anna Karenina), editor Nick Houy (Little Women, Lady Bird), Oscar-winning costume designer Jacqueline Durran (Little Women, Anna Karenina), visual effects supervisor Glen Pratt (Paddington 2, Beauty and the Beast), music supervisor George Drakoulias (White Noise, Marriage Story) and Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat (The Shape of Water, The Grand Budapest Hotel).
With such an ensemble team Barbie is being pitched as a masterpiece. For those who can’t wait Barbie will be released in the UK on 21 July 2023 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
