If you had any reservations about whether the Barbie movie will be lacking in colour, put them aside since they went all out.
So much so that manufacturing resulted in an international scarcity of pink paint.
To be honest, this movie continues giving us more reasons to adore it.
Greta Gerwig was in charge of bringing Barbie to life, with Margot Robbie, 32, playing the doll herself and Ryan Gosling, 42, playing the ideal companion in Ken.
Greta from Ladybird described how vital it was for her to create the Barbie Dreamhouse as intricate as possible ahead of the film’s premiere this summer.
‘Maintaining the “kid-ness” was paramount,’ Gerwig told Architectural Digest.
‘I wanted the pinks to be very bright, and everything to be almost too much.’
She added that the finer details were meant to bring a bout of nostalgia and reflect what ‘made me love Barbie when I was a little girl.’
Meanwhile, designer Sarah Greenwood said that the manufacturing caused a lack of Rosco paint in the neon colour.
‘The world ran out of pink,’ she said.
Sarah also previously told IndieWire that ‘pink became the film’s thesis’.
‘It was epic dealing with the painters, mixing the right colorus.
‘When we got to our palette we had over a hundred pinks, ranging from the purpley pinks right through to the fleshy millennial pinks.
‘We hit the sweet spot in the middle, which is about 10 pinks.’
The team assigned each hue a name, which remained consistent throughout the process.
‘We’d been building our palette on Rosco colors.
‘When it came time to order, they didn’t have enough pigment! Everybody was scrambling around trying to find more. I’m sure the producers were going, “This pink looks very much like that pink. What is the problem?” But we got there in the end.’
The Barbie film, which also stars Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Nicol Coughlan, and Dame Helen Mirren, is already on track to be one of the highest-grossing films of 2023.
But if you’re hesitant, don’t dismiss it too quickly because the teaser promised great drama.
The narrative follows Barbie as she begins to notice some unusual occurrences in her pink paradise, like waking up with flat feet!
So she ventures out into the actual world to discover the truth.
Naturally, havoc ensues, considering that a real doll is on the loose in Los Angeles – Ken, of course, joins along for the adventure.
Will Ferrell’s corporate character then embarks on a mission to return the doll to her box.
The Barbie movie is shaping up to be a big blockbuster, with high-speed vehicle chases and all kinds of thrills – and we can’t wait.
But that’s not all; a poptastic music will also grace our ears.
The record, which features Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj, Charli XCX, Haim, Ice Spice, and even Mr Ryan Gosling himself, is going to become the soundtrack for all of our summer parties.
Barbie will be released on July 21, 2023.
