Greta Gerwig Says ‘Nothing in Hollywood Happens Without Writers’
Via Variety:
In a display of pink visible from outer space, Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” held its lush world premiere on Sunday in Los Angeles.
The Shrine Auditorum, located smack in the middle of the USC campus, was hosed down in colors of blush and bashful for the anticipated Warner Bros. release (as in, the security guards wore pink polo shirts), which drew the film’s stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
One notable absence was Noah Baumbach, the film’s co-writer and Gerwig’s partner.
“My co-writer and co-creator, my partner in love and art, Noah Baumbach is not here. He is passionately supporting the fight of the Writers Guild of America,” Gerwig said. “He is a Barbie girl. Nothing in ‘Barbie’ happened without him, and nothing in Hollywood happens without writers.”
“Nothing in Hollywood happens without writers.”
Gerwig should know. Her screenwriting credits include Frances Ha, Mistress America, Lady Bird, and Little Women. And now Barbie.
