A new cut of Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated “Barbie” movie will reportedly be test-screened next week according to Cinema Solace.
The alleged screening follows in the wake of some additional filming that took place this past week in Los Angeles involving scenes set in the ‘Real World’ as opposed to the ‘Barbie Land’ scenes that were glimpsed in the trailer.
How extensive the filming was isn’t clear, but it’s standard for any major studio feature. World of Reel indicates a previous test screening back in February went very well.
In the film, a doll living in ‘Barbieland’ is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world. Greta Gerwig (“Lady Bird”) directed and co-wrote the script with her partner Noah Baumbach.
Margot Robbie takes on the iconic role of Barbie alongside Ryan Gosling as Ken. They’re joined by Emma Mackey, Dua Lipa, Issa Rae, Alexandra Shipp, Emerald Fennell, Kate McKinnon, Ritu Arya, Hari Nef, Sharon Rooney, Ana Cruz Kayne and Nicola Coughlan are also all playing Barbies in the film.
Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Scott Evans are all playing Kens, whilst America Ferrera, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell, Connor Swindells, Ariana Greenblatt, Jamie Demetriou and Helen Mirren have other roles.
Dua Lipa has reportedly created multiple new songs for the film, which opens on July 21st opposite Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”.
