Less than two months before its arrival in theaters,Barbiecontinues to amaze audiences with a display of color and magic, led byMargot Robbie. Greta Gerwig directs this unexpected adventure that, far from seeking to tell the origin of the famous doll or capture one of her various adventures that she has already had on the screen, will resort to a new story full of references to the mythology of the most famous face of Mattel .
After confirming the official soundtrack of the film, which includes a performance by Ryan Gosling himself, who plays Ken (via Rolling Stone), Warner Bros. Discovery reveals a new trailer for one of its biggest releases of the year:
In addition to great music artists,Barbiewill feature an incredible cast joining Robbie and Gosling, with names like America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma McKay, Alexandra Shipp, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Ariana Greenblatt, Helen Mirren, Will Ferrell, Dua Lipa and John Cena, among others.
The story centers on aBarbiewho lives in Barbieland, a dream world where she leads a seemingly perfect life, until she is expelled for not meeting the required standards. Away from everything she knows,Barbiewill begin a journey into the real world, to live an unimaginable adventure and bigger than any she has lived.
Barbie and Oppenheimer Will Fight Over the Audiences
Barbie will hit theaters on July 21, the same day that Christopher Nolan will release his next film, the first away from his longtime ally Warner Bros. Discovery, following the conflict sparked by the release of his previous movie,Tenetand now working with Universal Pictures.
Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy, will tell a very different story than Greta Gerwig will show withBarbie, but there is no doubt that both films are among the most anticipated of the year. The life of the creator of the atomic bomb, and a fun adventure that has one of the emblems of pop culture in front will be worthy contenders at the box office.
Matt Damon, who is part of theOppenheimer’s cast, spoke about this big disputewith Vanity Fair magazine:
“This is the first I’m hearing about it, actually. I haven’t paid any attention to that. People are allowed to go see two movies in a weekend. ‘Oppenheimer’ is one of them!”
In fact, for both films to hit theaters on the same day, being so popular and highly anticipated, it could be much more good news than bad news. The movie industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, and for two blockbusters to bring huge crowds to theaters will be something to celebrate.
Oppenheimer’s also includes performances from Emily Blunt, Kenneth Branagh, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr., Rami Malek, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Gary Oldman, Devon Bostick, Alex Wolff and Alden Ehrenreich, so a great cast is another thing both films have in common.
