Come on SimuLiu, let's go party!
Greta Gerwig is directing the movie from a script she wrote with her long-time partner Noah Baumbach. “Barbie,” which has been in the works since 2019, is expected to start production in early 2022 at the Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios in London. It’s slated to hit theaters sometime in 2023.
Gerwig and Baumbach have collaborated on several films, including “Frances Ha” and “Mistress America.” Gerwig stepped behind the camera herself for 2017’s coming-of-age story “Lady Bird” and 2019’s high-profile “Little Women” remake both of which landed best picture nominations at the Oscars. In addition to starring as Barbie, Robbie will produce the film through her production company LuckyChap. LuckyChap executive Tom Ackerley, Mattel Films executive Robbie Brenner and filmmaker David Heyman will also serve as producers.
Before he became one of Marvel’s newest superheroes, Liu was best known for playing Jung Kim on the Canadian sitcom “Kim’s Convenience,” which gained a bigger U.S. following when the show later landed on Netflix. He also appeared in episodes of “Orphan Black” and “Fresh Off the Boat” preceding to his big break in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” The comic book adventure was a box office hit by pandemic standards, generating $224 million domestically and $432 million globally.
