Barbie: a live action movie w/Ethan Hawke?!

I don't know if it's official, but I've read that Demi Moore is producing a live action adaption of the Barbie doll. Supposedly, her first choice for the role of Ken is Ethan Hawke. I know that this sounds ridiculous, but for some odd reason it interests me. I think I'm more curious about how a live action movie could be pulled out. My first predictions say it will suck, if it's even getting made. Just for the heck of it, I'll say who I think could ace the Barbie role: Emily Blunt.





That girl looks like Barbie to me. Put some blond hair on her and drop the English accent and VOILA! Plus, she can act her butt off.

Well if they can make a film about the Bratz dolls then why not Barbie, the uncut DVD extra should have Barbie & Sindy having a bitch fight!

This is possibly the worst Idea for a movie I have ever heared

Yeah, but Barbie's going to be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Well it can't be any worse.. can it!!!

Hollywood needs to cancel this idea and all other ridiculas ideas and make GOOD movies

Isn't that what they've been doing!? How can you say that Hotel for Dogs and Dragonball Evolution aren't Oscar material!?

Thats like asking Hollywood to make something original

I stand corrected

Barbie was "born" in the 50's... so I think they should get Joan Rivers to play her 'cause they have a lot in common...

Exactly...

Margot Robbie is now playing Barbie. She will be co-producing as well alongside her husband Tom Ackerley.

This script is gonna try to compensate for critiques of Barbie really hard. Prepare yourselves for the Most Empowered Character in the World.

Off of the thread's title, I'm slightly disappointed we're not getting Paul Schrader's Barbie.

That would probably be actually interesting. Like, it would be a very great platform for Schrader to do fascinating stuff.

It's official as of today: Margot Robbie is playing Barbie and Greta Getwig is directing the film from a script she co-wrote with husband Noah Baumbach. Shooting starts next year in the UK.

I've been waiting my ass off for a third Greta Gerwig movie just based on Lady Bird alone. After reading about her involvement in Barbie, I had to ask myself: Do I hate Barbie more than I like Greta Gerwig? Honestly, no, because I have so little to do with Barbie that I don't even have negative feeling towards it. Plus, Margot looks a bit like a Barbie doll anyway. I won't pay to see it, but if it's good I'll definitely look forward to it on streaming. I just hope we don't have another Duncan Jones situation...
