Writer/director Greta Gerwig received two Academy Award nominations for Little Women but now her latest film is on the most famous ‘little’ women of all time: Barbie.  It’s an intriguing prospect especially when you also know that her writing partner (and also lifetime partner) is  Noah Baumbach who picked up an Academy Award for his very quirky and highly successful The Squid and The Whale.

So we knew that Gerwig had gathered a very starry cast for the movie with Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling  as Ken plus Will Ferrell, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, America Ferrera, Scott Evans, Hari Nef, Connor Swindells, Emma Mackey, among others.  What we didn’t expect however is this first preview trailer that is a rather fabulous homage to Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey narrated by Dame Helen Mirren. 

WOW now we cannot wait to see the whole movie next summer
