“What is the pink, and how do the pinks interact…?” Dive in and discover the many shades of pink used to create this magical movie set. Architectural Digest has posted an extensive 7-minutes behind-the-scenes featurette for Barbie, Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated new movie opening in July this summer. Based on the beloved dolls for kids, the Barbie Dreamhouse set that some of the movie takes place in was built from scratch on sound stages in Hollywood. This video takes us on an extensive tour of Barbie’s house and her friend’s houses, discussing details and colors and everything with producer / actress Margot Robbie as well as director Greta Gerwig. I’m most fascinated to learn that Gerwig decided to ground this in the 1950s style, referencing the big musicals of the time, because that’s when the toy was first invented. The main cast includes Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Mackey, Alexandra Shipp, Will Ferrell, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, and Hari Nef. This movie might just turn out amazing, I think. Enjoy the tour.
