Harley Quinn's Barbie movie to start filming in early 2022

According to foreign media Variety, the live-action "Barbie" movie starring "Harley Quinn" Margot Robbie is scheduled to start shooting in early 2022 and is scheduled to be released in theaters in 2023. The film is directed and written by Greta Gerwig, the director of "Little Women".

This is a pretty good result for Barbie fans. But for independent film lovers, it is more or less unexpected that Greta Gerwig wrote the script and directed the film. After all, this independent filmmaker has made a living with independent films with unique styles and stories for many years. This time, it is difficult for her to come to a mainstream film studio to shoot a movie adapted from a famous doll. However, Greta Gerwig can also take this opportunity to enter the mainstream film circle. In Sony's plan, this film is expected to be made into a feminist film, telling the story of Barbie discovering that she is not as perfect as people think. She accepts her imperfections, goes deep into real life, and realizes that being unique is the most important thing.

Since its release in 1959, Barbie has become one of the most popular toy series in the world, bringing in up to $3 billion in profits to toy giant Mattel every year. In 2015, Sony began planning a live-action movie of Barbie, hoping to create a humane family comedy that conveys modern values ​​of female beauty and self-awareness. The film is scheduled to be released in 2023.
