What is Margot Robbie's Barbie movie about?
Margot Robbie's Barbie Movie is a live-action feature film based on the popular line of Barbie toys and it centres on Barbie - a doll living in 'Barbieland' who is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world.
The film has a strong satirical angle and points its finger at the patriarchy and traditional gender roles, as well as exploring the role of Barbie in society and the beauty standards women face.
It's being directed by Greta Gerwig (Little Women, Ladybird) and her partner Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story).
Who is playing Barbie?
Barbie is being played by actress Margot Robbie, who rose to fame in Neighbours. The Suicide Squad star has admitted that her new role isn't an easy one to play.
In an interview with Vogue magazine she said, "It comes with a lot of baggage! And a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that come a lot of exciting ways to attack it. People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t..."
Margot is also down to produce the film through her production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
