Live action Barbie movie

*Raph's Girl* · 04-23-2014, 03:11 PM

Oh gods... Sony's gonna make a live action Barbie movie. It's gonna be a comedy. They think this'll be the "next big thing"

Erm, OK, well that just happened.

So a Barbie movie gets made before a Legend of Zelda movie?

Hollywood, pull yourselves together!

*AT-Man* · 04-23-2014, 03:17 PM

I hope they cast her:

How do you make a movie based off a doll? A doll that has no personality or character traits? Literally the only thing they have to go off of is a stereotype of women...which is not going to go over well with people, including myself.

Who is she? That picture can't be real, please tell me it's photoshopped!

Well, won't that be um...something.

Actually the more I think about it if they do it right it could be hilarious!

*Donatello19* · 04-23-2014, 03:21 PM

Unless they're going to straight up parody Barbie, I don't see how they can make a movie like this.

Blossombrooks · 04-23-2014, 03:24 PM

It'll be Legally Blonde meets Mean Girls with a hint of Splash! Mark my words

Live action Barbie movie? Didn't we already get one with Life-Size?

I don't think we will ever get a traditional Zelda movie. Imagi tried to pitch a Zelda movie to Nintendo, but they didn't like it. Apparently, Nintendo isn't interested in just making a movie.

We wouldn’t want to make it the same as any other movie. We want to somehow change what a movie is."

But we already have Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse.

*Donatello19* · 04-23-2014, 04:00 PM

^That was...surprisingly sorta funny. But still, a feature film?

There was the 1985 movie Clue, which was based on a...board game.

I believe there are supposed to be movies based on Candy Land and Monopoly in the works as well.

It is obvious that this Barbie movie is not being made for our demographic, It'll be targeted to the little girls out there. there are movies out there that have a specific demographic they are aiming for, So its no surprise they are making this movie.

*BubblyShell22* · 04-28-2014, 08:27 AM

Well, they've made a ton of CGI Barbie movies, so it doesn't surprise me that they're going to make a live action one as well. It just depends on how it's done. As long as Barbie isn't portrayed like a stereotypical "dumb blonde" then I'm okay with it.

Apparently, according to the girl in the picture, it's all natural, apart from her, you know...

*Cure* · 04-28-2014, 11:42 AM

I think this has potential to be weird, stupid, and funny. I'm in.

I agree. I'm very curious how the writers are going to make a somewhat effective plot for this.
