At the premiere of 'Barbie', Greta Gerwig talks writing the movie during the pandemic, if Adam Driver could be a Barbie, and all the attention over Margot Robbie's arched Barbie foot.
00:00Margo said that when she first read the script, she was like, there's no way this is ever going to get made.
00:04Did you feel confident it would get made?
00:09Well, I, you know, honestly, I think we, we wrote it in such a specific time in the midst of lockdown and everything else.
00:18And it was really like, you know, I thought, I was like, I don't even know if there's ever going to be movies again.
00:23But like, if there are, let's write the most outrageous, anarchic, hilarious thing that, you know, if they'll never let us make a, let's, let's imaginary go out with a bang.
00:36But yeah, then, you know, it was something where, you know, I decided I had to direct it once the script was written.
00:43And it was really like, I just wanted to make that one.
00:48That was the one.
00:49So I was like, you know, if, if we can't do it, then that's fine.
00:54But I hope they let us.
00:57Yeah.
00:57Did you expect Margo's foot to be arched foot to be such a talking point?
01:01Not at all.
01:02It really, I mean, I did always think of the arched foot as like a bat signal, but they really heard that.
01:08They saw, everybody was like, I heard the bat signal, I've answered the call.
01:14Everything started.
01:15And what do you think of the rivalry that's formed between this and Oppenheimer?
01:20Oh, there's no, it's all love.
01:22It's all like, yeah, like, you know, double up, double up twice.
01:25Because I think, you know, you got to see, like, see what the experience is.
01:28Like Barbie then Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer then Barbie.
01:31You really, I think you got to, you got to take all the journeys.
01:35And you and Noah have worked with Adam Driver so much.
01:37Was there ever a thought of an Adam Driver Barbie or?
01:39Not as such.
01:45But I think, you know, you would never know what could happen to the future.
01:50But yeah, he would definitely be a Barbie, not a Ken.
