Considering the first film grossed more than $1.4 BILLION and resulted in 8 Oscar noms?
This is ridiculous!!!
'Barbie 2' could be on the backburner now that Warner Bros. is dragging its feet to come to terms on deals for stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, as well as director Greta Gerwig.
While what they're asking for is unknown, Warner Bros isn't sure they want to pay what is being asked. Star Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in the first film, is reportedly asking something north of a $20 million pay raise. He did secure a Best Supporting Actor nomination for the first film.
Director Greta Gerwig has also reportedly come up with an idea for a sequel along with her husband/writing partner Noah Baumbach. They're not revealing the idea until a deal is met however.
If a deal isn't met soon, the rights to the film will revert back to Mattel, which would then mean everything would have to get redeveloped, including a new cast/director.
Thoughts?
