Warner Bros. Pictures has released a clip from Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Barbie movie. Its premiere will take place on July 21. In the video, Ryan Gosling performed the song “I’m Just Ken,” dedicated to his character’s self-esteem issues. The images show Ken’s self-doubt, which is consistent with the film’s catchphrase: “She’s everything, he’s just Ken.”
“I just don’t know who I am without you,” Ken says at the beginning of the video. “You are Ken,” Barbie replies. “But these are Barbie and Ken. It’s just that Ken doesn’t exist,” she continues.
In addition to Gosling, Margot Robbie, Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, America Ferrera, as well as Issa Rae, Ria Perlman, Hari Nef, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackie, Sharon Rooney, John Cena, Helen Mirren, Connor Swindells, In the Kingsley Ben-Adir, Liu Simu, Ariana Greenblatt, Scott Evans, Jamie Demetriou, Dua Lipa, Shuti Gatwa, Nicola Coughlan, Emerald Fennel and Ana Cruz Kaine will appear in the film.
The film was written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, production designer Sarah Greenwood, costume designer Jacqueline Durran, and composer Alexandre Desplat all worked on Barbie.
Earlier, “Barbie” movie production designer Sarah Greenwood gave an interview to AD. In it, she said that while she was creating the setting for the picture, she found a shortage of pink paint, which she herself caused. Greenwood was unable to find the correct color in several countries.
