The new Barbie movie used so much pink paint on set that it caused an international shortage, according to its production designer
Greta Gerwig's new"Barbie" movie pays homage to the doll's iconic color by covering the set in pink paint, apparently causing an international shortage, according to the interiors magazineGerwig said in an email to Architectural Digest that she hired the production designer Sarah Greenwood and the set decorator Katie Spencer to design the Barbie Dreamhouse — a dollhouse the character lives in — at Warner Bros. Studio in Levaesden, just outside of London.
The director — who brought classic tales like"Snow White" and"Little Women" to the big screen — insisted that everything on set had to be pink because"maintaining the 'kid-ness' was paramount." "I wanted the pinks to be very bright, and everything to be almost too much," she said adding that she didn't want to forget"what made me love Barbie when I was a little girl."
Greenwood told the magazine that constructing the set resulted in an international shortage of the fluorescent shade of Rosco paints.Gerwig said wanted to create a feeling of"authentic artificiality" for the set and even used a hand-painted backdrop of the sky and the mountains rather than CGI., including Margot Robbie as Barbie; Ryan Gosling as her boyfriend, Ken; Emma Mackey; and Kate McKinnon.
In one clip, the Barbie Dreamhouse could be seen featuring a pink slide that descended into a pool, a pink shower, a pink bed, and lots of other pink accessories.
