Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie bring the live action Barbie (2023) movie to life
Barbie is a fantasy comedy movie co-written and directed by Greta Gerwig, and produced by LuckyChap Entertainment and Mattel Films. The long-awaited live action movie is inspired by the iconic doll franchise of the same name. Greta Gerwig signed onto the project as director and co-writer alongside her partner Noah Baumbach.
