As per Deadline, the Barbie producer said, “One of the reasons the film has done so well is because it’s original.” Heyman continued, “There’s a real hunger for originality. Greta Gerwig is a singular artist; she pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the most collaborative way. The film is fun, thematically rich, and very moving. It was challenging, of course, but when we made it, there was a spirit of fun that permeated the production.”
Barbie featured various actors, including Simu Liu, America Ferrera, Emma Mackey, and more, with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in the lead. The film was released in July this year, and the film is currently available on Prime Video on rent for audiences to watch.
