In a Barbie World

Brentwood, Calif., June 23

Which way’s the rodeo? Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling filmed scenes for the upcoming live-action movie Barbie dressed in Westerninspired getups. Directed by Lady Bird’s Greta Gerwig, the much-anticipated flick follows the adventures of Barbie and Ken as they journey into the real world. Life in plastic might not be so fantastic. “People generally hear Barbie and think, ‘I know what this movie is going to be about,’” said Margot. “And then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t.’” America Ferrera, Simu Liu and Kate McKinnon also star in the film, which is set for a theatrical release in July 2023.
