Episode description

Producer Margot Robbie joins Alex Zane to discuss the making of Barbie - from the initial pitch to toy manufacturer Mattel, to the day she received the first script from Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach - and how decisions in the edit suite and test screenings shaped the movie we see today.

'Barbie' was longlisted for Best Film at the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2024. To discover who wins the trophy, tune in on 18th February on BBC One and iPlayer in the UK as well as around the world, including on BritBox in North America - and discover more interviews with the nominees and longlisted movies when you follow Countdown To The BAFTAs.
