As the release date of the upcoming movie approaches, the actress recently cited another reason that she had to depart from the movie. Citing the reason to be a creative difference,Amy Schumerstated that they had“got the wrong gal”.
“They definitely didn’t want to do it the way I wanted to do it, the only way I was interested in doing it,”
She further stated that upon the casting, the studio had sent her a pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes. Seemingly taking an insult to that, Schumer stated that it seemed as if every girl wanted that (which wasn’t the case for her).
“The idea that that’s just what every woman must want, right there, I should have gone, ‘You’ve got the wrong gal.'”
At one point Anne Hathaway was also reported to be attached to the film until Margot Robbie handled the reins of the movie. The teaser for the upcomingBarbierecently dropped on YouTube and it is nothing short of a Stanley Kubrick movie.
