Margot Robbie Is a Monolithic ‘Barbie’ in ‘2001’-Like First Trailer: Watch

Margot Robbie is a monolithic 'Barbie' in the film's first trailer as she looms very large in a tribute to Stanley Kubrick’s iconic 1968 outer space psychological drama '2001: A Space Odyssey.'

From the brief photographic glimpses that have leaked out so far of the film starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as her super-smooth forever boyfriend Ken, Gerwig appear to be leaning heavily into kitsch and visual overload. And the trailer is proof that they are going for it in a major way.

“Since the beginning of time, since the first little girl ever existed, there have been… dolls,” says a narrator over sunrise scenes in the desert. Then, as Kubrick’s hauntingtheme, Strauss’ “Also sprach Zarathustra” bubbles up in the background, we see a group of girls playing with their baby dolls in the dusty expanse.

Cue the smashing on the boring babies as one of the toys is tossed into space and a disco soundtrack explodes into Barbie’s technicolor. We then get the first moving look at Gosling’s Ken in his ab-baring, fringed green jacket, chilling with his equally buff pals in Barbie’s all-pink-everything dream universe.

The film slated to open on July 21 also features America Ferrara, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman and Will Ferrrell as Mattel’s CEO.
