Why?

I don't think little girls nowadays care about Barbie anymore. They're more into technology. The only ppl who will watch this are Amy Schumer fans.

I would rather since a biopic about the woman that made Barbie, Ruth Handler.

Schumer is out, Robbie is in.

Mean Girls wasn't for boys.
Clueless wasn't for boys.

If they nail the tone this could be a hit across the board.

 

[StraxStrax]

Not good

How so?

 

[Norrin Radd]

Schumer is out, Robbie is in.

Thank god somebody saw the light

Whoever thought it'd be a good idea to cast Amy Schumer should be tarred and feathered.

Jenkins told Deadline at the Sundance Film Festival where she was promoting her new TNT limited series, I Am the Night, that while she loves Barbie, she won't be directing the film.


"I love Barbie as well, and see an interesting thing," Jenkins said. "It's something we talked about, it's not something I'm planning on doing."

Buzz about Jenkins and a live-action adaptation of Barbie has been around since at least October of last year when rumors first surfaced that the film, which had been stuck in development at Sonyfor years, was moving on to Warner Bros. with Robbie in talks at the time to star. Jenkins' name came up the director for the film, though reports were refuted.


Then, earlier this month, Warner Bros. confirmed that the studio is, in fact, developing a film based on the classic Mattel toy property with Suicide Squad star Robbie set to star as the iconic doll.

"Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity and communication throughout a child's journey to self-discovery," said Robbie. "Over the brand's almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president. I'm so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. I can't imagine better partners than Warner Bros and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen."


While no director for the Barbie project was announced at that time and Jenkins' comment seems to indicate that she was at least approached about the project, it's ultimately time that is keeping Jenkins away from Barbie.

"My schedule -- I'm not really available to do it any time soon," Jenkins added. "It's fun to talk about it; I'm not the person directing it at the moment."
