Life actually does imitate artwork. If you by some means don’t have the plot of Greta Gerwig’s summer season smash hit Barbie already dedicated to reminiscence, right here’s a little bit refresher: after Ryan Gosling’s himbo-esque Ken discovers the wonders of patriarchy in the actual world, he and his fellow Kens stage a coup to take over Barbie Land and infuse it with extra horses, viewings of the Snyder Cut, and basic masculinity.
While Ryan Gosling delivers a efficiency for the ages (and the Billboard charts for that matter), one prevailing grievance about Barbie was that it merely had an excessive amount of Ken for a film supposedly about Barbie and her personal journey. Unfortunately for that camp of followers, Barbie Land would possibly undergo from much more Ken-ergy sooner or later.
In a latest interview with 60 Minutes, Gerwig and her accomplice and co-writer Noah Baumbach have been speaking about how a lot further materials they’d written for Ken when Baumbach appeared to slide up a little bit. “Don’t give it away as a result of we would do…” he says, earlier than stuttering out an try at a course correction: “Yeah, however there was an entire… simply extra concerning the Ken impact in the actual world.”
When the interviewer follows up by asking if there would ever be a Ken film, the writers snort and say they will’t remark. “The fact is, I suppose we’ll see,” Gerwig continues, with a glance to her accomplice by her facet.
Even if this wasn’t truly a slip-up on Baumbach’s half, Gerwig’s reply is way more imprecise than it was the final time she was requested a few potential Barbie sequel. “I really feel like that on the finish of each film, like I’ll by no means have one other concept, and the whole lot I’ve ever needed to do, I did,” Gerwig informed the New York Times again in July. “I wouldn’t need to squash anyone else’s dream, however for me, at this second, I’m at completely zero.”
You can see in case you suppose Gerwig and Baumbach are alluding to a spin-off under. In the meantime, we’re nonetheless patiently ready for Gerwig to #LaunchTheAllanCut.
