"We've always thought that the Barbie story had great potential," said Hannah Minghella, Columbia Pictures' president of Production, 'but a universe of possibilities opened up when [the writer], Walter and Laurie brought us their unexpected, clever, and truly funny concept. It captures everything that has made Barbie a classic for generation after generation while also standing on its own."
This movie will also be the second time that Sony Pictures and Mattel work together. They previously developed a film adaptation of Masters of the Universe, based on Mattel's action figures.
