Sharon Stone Shares Brutal Response Studios Had To Her Idea For A 'Barbie' Movie

Sharon Stone was way ahead of her time when it came to being a Barbie girl in the film world.

The Basic Instinct actor shared how she tried to make a Barbie movie decades ago while celebrating America Ferraras recent Critics Choice Award on Instagram Monday.

I was laughed out [of] the studio when I came [with] the Barbie idea in the 90s [with] the support of the head of Barbie, Stone commented on a video of Ferraras acceptance speech.

How far weve come, she continued. Thank you ladies for your courage and endurance.

The success of last summers Barbie was preceded by several stunted attempts to make a film inspired by the iconic doll.

Amy Schumer and Anne Hathaway were both attached to Sony Pictures Barbie project at one point, but in 2018 Warner Bros snagged the moviemaking rights and began developing a Margot Robbie-fronted Mattel feature.

Director Greta Gerwig boarded the project in 2021 at Robbies behest and co-wrote the screenplay with partner Noah Baumbach.

Gerwigs artistry got a special shoutout from Ferrara as she accepted her Critics Choice Award  over the weekend.

In her speech, she thanked the Ladybird director for proving through your incredible mastery as a filmmaker that womens stories have no difficulty achieving cinematic greatness and box-office history at the same time, and that unabashedly telling female stories does not diminish your powers, it expands them.
