“The first time I read the script for ‘Barbie’ my reaction was, ‘Oh this is so good, too bad it will never see the light of day. I thought that because they will never let us make this movie.”
Despite the initial incredulity, the film came true. It just took a long time: Universal Pictures announced the feature in 2009, having Laurence Mark (I steal) in production. To get an idea: at this time, Robbie was a 19-year-old novice actress and had just released her first film, Vigilant (2008).

What would the story be? I think I felt a very interesting fear. That’s usually where the best stuff comes from. When you think, ‘I’m scared of this’.”
