The 'Barbie' movie used so much pink paint it caused a shortage

It's no surprise the set of the upcoming"Barbie" movie features a lot of pink – but it may be shocking just how much pink went into it. So much pink paint was used, it caused a shortage, the film's designer said. The film's director, Greta Gerwig, said she wanted the pinks used on set to be"very bright" and"almost too much" to be reminiscent of the kid-like aspect of playing with Barbie.

Greenwood had a specific vision for the set, the representative said in a statement."The sets were being designed and built during a time of global supply chain issues. But we delivered everything we could; they got it all." Fortunately, for anyone who wants to give their home a Barbie makeover, fluorescent pink is back in stock. The highly anticipated film has actress Margot Robbie bringing the iconic doll, manufactured by Mattel since 1959, to life. Ken, Barbie's companion, is played by Ryan Gosling. Little is known about the plot of the film, but a teaser trailer revealed what Barbie's world looks like – which explains the pink paint shortage – and also revealed some of the star-studded cast.

Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon and Dua Lipa are all expected to make appearances in the film. Dua Lipa is also singing a songThe film premiers on July 21.
