While promoting the upcoming "Barbie" film, actress and "Saturday Night Live" alum Kate McKinnon praised it for showing that "gender roles deny people half their humanity."recently claimed she dropped out of a"Barbie" film that was in production at Sony because she couldn’t figure out how to make the iconic doll a"feminist" icon.
The screenwriter admitted to GQ that she bombed at the project, claiming the culture and her were not aligned on what a Barbie movie could be. She said,"I think I know why I s--- the bed. When I was first hired for this, I don’t think the culture had not [sic] embraced the femme or the bimbo as valid feminist archetypes yet."
However, she noted she had a hard time squaring that idea of"anti-Barbie" with the earnest, straightforwardly feminine iconography of the character."I didn’t really have the freedom then to write something that was faithful to the iconography; they wanted a girl-boss feminist twist on Barbie, and I couldn’t figure it out because that’s not what Barbie is."
