LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD

By Nora Fisher Entertainment Editor

The world-famous doll, “Barbie,” is coming to the big screen this summer. The film will take a look into Barbie’s new adventure in the real world. The Barbie movie is set to release on Jul. 21.

The movie will star Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. Both of the actors have given high reviews regarding the script. Gosling even went as far as to say it is the best script that he has ever read.

The film will follow Barbie’s journey to the human world after being shot down in the Barbie realm for not being a good enough Barbie. The cast will also feature other well-known actors such as Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, and Kate Mckinnon in various roles throughout the movie. Although Barbie is usually regarded as a children’s film, the movie is rated PG-13 because apparently, it may be somewhat inappropriate for preteens.

The director, Greta Gerwig, is expecting a high turnout for the film. The rival movie, “Oppenheimer,” actually changed its release date out of fear of losing viewers. Fans have been posting on social media about the film and there are more adults excited than people might think.

There is a lot of pressure put on the producers and actors of the movie due to the high amounts of nostalgia surrounding it. The first ever Barbie was released on Mar. 9, 1959. The franchise has produced around 40 animated films since 2001. This will be the first-ever live-action Barbie adaptation of the entire series. Fans can see the film at local theaters.
