Aside from the star-studded cast, a summer 2023 release date and some neon paparazzi pics, we don’t know much about Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie movie.
However, the director opened up about the making of the film on Dua Lipa’s “At Your Service” podcast, saying she was “excited” and “terrified” when embarking on the project.
“It was terrifying,” Gerwig said. “There’s just something about starting from that place where it’s like, ‘Okay, anything is possible. I got giddy starting to write it. Like, where do you start? What will the story be like?”
Gerwig, who co-wrote the film with husband Noah Baumbach, added, “That feeling I knew was going to be a really interesting horror. Usually that’s where the best things are. I’m terrified of it. Anything you want,” that could be A professional terminator,” you’re like, “Well, maybe I should do that.”
Regarding the plot, Gerwig did not give many details, but said that the Mattel executives were “fantastic partners” who gave her “confidence and freedom” with the Barbie brand. She also credited star and producer Margot Robbie, as well as producer Tom Ackerley for making sure Gerwig was able to carry out her vision.
