You’re well aware that the COVID-19 pandemic persists and that it will for a good number of months ahead as the curve has not flattened and that life seems unsure like it was March/April.

With that in mind, it’s fair to say that a Barbie Dream House wouldn’t be the same for these times either. Sara Schaefer went ahead and actualized what that might look and created a great, timely, and hilarious sketch for the quarantine life and societal uprising that we’re all a part of now.

So, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach Will Write Warner Bros’ Barbie Movie

It’s rare that you’ll get an audible gasp-ish “What?!?” from us, but that’s definitely what happened when we read the headline for this annoucement.

The movie based on the landmark toy line, Barbie, has switched many hands over the last few years, but this is definitely both a far cry from when Amy Schumer was involved and the original toy itself.

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, who collaborated on some of the more celebrate indie comedies/dramedies in the last couple of decades (including Frances Ha and Mistress America), pose an interesting duo to take on a 2019, woke (which is what Warner Bros. is shooting for) Barbie movie. Baumbach isn’t an entire stranger to taking on big budget IP as he did pen Madagascar 3, but Gerwig and Baumbach together could potentially weave some magic here, not unlike Chris Miller and Phil Lord did with The LEGO Movie.

We hope that will be what happens here.

Sony Pictures Has Hired Diablo Cody to Rewrite a Live Action “Barbie” Movie

(via Deadline)

There has been a movie in the works at Sony Pictures adapting the long standing “Barbie” toy franchise into a movie. With the success that The LEGO Movie has had, there seems to be a shift in having an unconventional and new spin on what a movie based on Barbie could be.

So, Sony has tapped Diablo Cody to write a draft. While we wouldn’t be surprised at all that many of you reading this are, at the very least, skeptical, we were all this skeptical about a movie about LEGOs being made. Given Cody’s resume, her version of a Barbie movie could be fun ride, especially as a comedy rather than the typical light adventure that most toy based movies go on, but we’ll see if Sony sticks with her and what rating they’ll aim for.
