The actress revealed her failed attempt to bring the iconic doll to the big screen and was pleased with the success of the recent version.
Sharon Stone revealed that he once tried to present a film “Barbie” in a Hollywood studio during the 1990s and was laughed at. “Barbie” Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie was released last year and grossed a staggering $1.4 billion to become the highest-grossing film of 2023 and the highest-grossing film for Warner Bros. in the studio’s history.
“The studio laughed at me when I came [con] the idea of Barbie in the 90s [con] the support of the Barbie director,” Stone wrote in a comment to América Ferrara on Instagram, where the latter shared her Critics Choice Awards acceptance speech. “How far we have come. Thank you ladies for your courage and resilience.”
Other attempts to bring Barbie to the movies
Stone is far from the only actress who tried and failed to get a “Barbie” movie off the ground. Before Gerwig and Robbie perfected their portrayal of her at Warner Bros., Amy Schumer and Anne Hathaway They tried to make a “Barbie” movie in Sony Pictures. Schumer was originally cast as the Mattel doll, but she revealed last year that it was “creative differences” that caused her to leave. She said Robbie’s film seemed “very feminist and cool,” but her version was not.
Hathaway replaced Schumer as Barbie in a film about the character who was kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough. The Australian filmmaker Alethea Jones, best known for directing the comedy “Fun Mom Dinner,” was in talks to direct Hathaway’s film, which sources described at the time as being in the vein of “Splash,” “Enchanted” and “Big.” The movie was never made and Hathaway isn’t mad about it.
“What’s so exciting about what Greta, Margot and that phenomenal team did is that they hit the mark”Hathaway said during a recent appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “The bullseye made the entire world reach this level of ecstasy. Now imagine that version… so much energy, so much anticipation, so much excitement… but it’s not the right version. In fact, I consider it fortunate that [no se hiciera]”.
“Barbie” is now expected to score several Oscar nominations next week, including best picture.
