Are you excited about the Barbie movie? It sounds like it will be nuts. Between the writing team behind the movie, the director, and the cast I have no idea what to expect. I do not think that this will be a family-friendly movie, but I could be wrong. It sounds like it will be really funny and now that we know who is in the cast, we can safely assume that it will be sexy. So who is in the Barbie movie? Let's find out.
First of all, Greta Gerwig is directing this film. Not only that, but she co-wrote the screenplay with her partner Noah Baumbach. Noah Baumbach has is a pretty gritty indie director who put the topless Greta in his 2010 film Greenberg. That was definitely not Greta's first nude rodeo. This gorgeous babe has gone VERY nude in her early work with director Joe Swanberg. Before becoming a director herself, she was a mumblecore maven.
What's the film about? Who knows! It's Barbie! The doll! From Matel! The plot according to IMDB is that a doll living in Barbieland is exiled for not being perfect enough and she then tries to live in the real world. That does sound fun. Margot Robbie will be Barbie (with Ryan Gosling as Ken) which is an excellent choice for the busty blonde doll.
Emma Mackey from Sex Education is also going to join the cast. Who will she play? Skipper? Fans have pointed out that she has very similar features to Margot Robbie, so playing someone in the Barbie family might make sense.
Alexandra Shipp, Kate McKinnon, America Ferrera, Hari Nef are all also rounding out the cast. Who do they play? Again, we have no idea. All of those women are gorgeous and wildly talented - and America and Kate are very funny which, again, makes me think that this will be a laugh-out-loud movie - so this film will be very worth a watch.
Finally, it was recently announced that Issa Rae is joining the cast. Yet another hilarious and hot woman! We all fell in love with Issa on Insecure which just ended this year, so I am thrilled to see her next project is the Barbie movie. That makes me think this will be good. Issa picks good projects and I like projects that have Issa in them.
So what do you think about the cast of Barbie? Let me remind you that Margot Robbie is Barbie and she is always sexy and entertaining. Do you really need a reminder of that? Okay, here you go:
