Currently, Barbie doesn’t have a director, either, so with no big names attached, we’ll have to wait and see if this one ends up moving forward soon or gets put on the backburner for a while.
According to Variety, there’s currently no word regarding whether or not Barbie will keep the same tone and outlook once it does find a new lead.
We do know that Walter F. Parkes, Laurie MacDonald and Amy Pascal are set to produce the film when it does find another lead.
The not fitting in and subsequent fish out of water story seemed pretty tailor-made for Schumer and we’re not sure who else could fill the role as overtly well.
