If you look up ‘Barbie’ on TikTok you’ll find this wonderful subculture that celebrates the feminine, but in 2014, taking this skinny blonde white doll and making her into a heroine was a tall order.”Ĭody went on to say that the “idea of an anti-Barbie” movie made sense a decade ago, and that Sony Pictures wanted “a girl-boss feminist twist on Barbie” instead of something more faithful. “When I was first hired for this, I don’t think the culture had not embraced the femme or the bimbo as valid feminist archetypes yet. “I think I know why I s- the bed,” Cody said. According to her, she thinks it’s because at the time, people wanted a very different Barbie movie. In 2018, Cody exited the project, infamously noting that she was “literally incapable” of turning in a script for the project. Speaking to GQ magazine, Cody spoke about her time developing a Barbie movie alongside actress and comedian Amy Schumer. Why did Diablo Cody’s Barbie film not materialize?
According to her, the project was vastly different than what it is now. Before Greta Gerwig was chosen to write and direct the upcoming Barbiemovie, Juno writer Diablo Cody was tabbed with writing it.
