Fans excitedly await Greta Gerwig's newest Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie at the end of July, a movie that features an iconic doll that has a long history of trying to be written onto the big screen. In 2018, Sony Pictures originally tried to write a Barbie movie with actress Amy Schumer and Oscar-award-winning writer Diablo Cody, but they couldn't quite get it right.
Schumer and Cody have both since publicly shared their difficulties with creating the film Barbie and the roadblocks that came with trying to turn the doll into an "anti-Barbie".
Comedian Amy Schumer came out saying that she left the making of the original Barbie film because she had creative differences with the writers. In 2016 when Schumer left the project, she claimed that it was due to "scheduling conflicts" but this turned out to be a cover, later revealed in an interview on Watch What Happens Live.
