It's also worth noting that this was almost handed to Amy Schumer and not Margot Robbie (who actively spearheaded pitching the project alongside Greta Gerwig), which is probably the difference between making a mockery of the project and giving it the love it needs to survive despite being branded bilk.
- criddell 2y agoWhat do you mean by bilk? Are you saying Gerwig cheated the Mattel somehow? Or Mattel cheated Gerwig?
- throwaway19972 2y agoNo, nothing like that—I'm saying that people generally deserve better than recycled IP, and Mattel came very close to people realizing this (yet again) by not choosing Robbie/Gerwig (and if you look at the story of how this movie came to be, Robbie was at least as big a factor as Gerwig was).
