Amy was in short attached toBarbiebefore dropping out in 2017 and being replaced by Margot Robbie .
Amy Schumerelaborated on her decision to quitBarbie.
You may remember that she was cast in 2016 as the titular fashion doll — only toquitthe film a short time later due to “scheduling conflicts.”
But now, Amy says that wasn’t exactly true.
“I think we said it was scheduling conflicts,” shesaidon yesterday’s episode ofWatch What Happens Livewith Andy Cohen. “That’s what we said. But it really was just creative differences.”
“But you know what? There’s like a new team behind it and it looks like it’s very feminist and cool, so I will be seeing that movie.”
Andy then asked Amy if the movie “didn’t feel feminist and cool” when she was attached to it, to which Amy replied, “Yeah.”
Last year, she spoke to theHollywood Reporterabout departing the film and said that the studio “definitely didn’t want to do it the way I wanted to do it, the only way I was interested in doing it.” She said she’d envisioned Barbie as an “inventor,” while the studio wanted her to be an “invention.”
Margot RobbieandRyan Goslinghave since beentappedto play Barbie and Ken, respectively. You can watch it when it comes out in theaters on July 21.
