Amy Schumer has set the record straight about her involvement with the Barbie movie. In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she clarified that the reason she left the project had to do with ‘creative differences’ rather than scheduling conflicts, as was previously reported.
Amy took to her Instagram Story to further clarify her exit from the movie. She wrote: ‘Can’t wait to see Barbie! Me and Diablo Cody were never attached at the same time. We wrote our own script.’
The comedy actress is excited to see the movie despite not being involved. She added: ‘Anyway, can’t wait to see it. I love Greta and the great Margot Robbie and Michael.’
After Amy’s departure, director Greta Gerwig signed on to the project in July 2021. Margot Robbie took on the role of the titular character with Ryan Gosling playing Ken. Other stars in the film include Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, Nicola Coughlan, and Dame Helen Mirren.
The Barbie buzz is undeniable, with the film set to release soon. However, it has already faced criticism in some parts of the world, with Vietnam banning it due to a scene that depicts a map showing what appears to be the ‘nine-dash line.’
In response to this, Warner Bros. said the ‘doodles’ shown on the map are intended to depict ‘Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land’ and that the picture ‘was not intended to make any type of statement.’
