According to The Hollywood Reporter, Schumer cited the all-consuming scheduling conflict that many a Hollywood star has had to deal with over the course of their career. Sadly, I’m no longer able to commit to Barbie due to scheduling conflictsThe film has so much promise, and Sony and Mattel have been great partners.
Sony and Mattel will probably be casting around for a new star and director for Barbie soon enough.
Sony and Mattel’s Barbie movie has hit snag after snag pretty much since its inception.
It’s kind of a bummer, for fans of the doll and Schumer alike, because the movie sounds like something Schumer would thrive in.
