In her pitch meeting, Margot Robbie compared Barbie to Jurassic Park to show that big ideas can lead to huge profits.
“I think my pitch in the greenlight meeting was the studios have prospered so much when they’re brave enough to pair a big idea with a visionary director,” Robbie said in an interview with. “And then I gave a series of examples like, “dinosaurs and [Steven] Spielberg,” that and that, that and that – pretty much naming anything that’s been incredible and made a ton of money for the studios over the years. And I was like, “And now you’ve got Barbie and Greta Gerwig.
“And I think I told them that it’d make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make, okay,” Robbie said about her pitch.Robbie stars as the main Barbie, the iconic doll who travels to the real world after complications arise in her home, Barbieland.“After being expelled from Barbieland for being a less-than-perfect doll, Barbie sets off to the real world to find true happiness,” the official synopsis reads.
