 Matte and Warner Bros. Pictures Group today announced a partnership to bring the world-renowned Barbie franchise to theaters in its first ever live-action feature film, starring Academy Award-nominated actress Margot Robbie as Barbie. Robbie will also co-produce the film under her LuckyChap Entertainment Banner, alongside Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara from LuckyChap Entertainment. Barbie is the first announced deal coming out of Mattel's newly-established Mattel Films. "This project is a great start to our partnership with Ynon and Mattel Films," said Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group. "And, Margot is the ideal producer and actress to bring Barbie to life on screen in a fresh and relevant way for today's audiences." Margot Robbie said: "Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity and communication throughout a child's journey to self-discovery. Over the brand's almost 60 years, Barbie has empowered kids to imagine themselves in aspirational roles from a princess to president. I'm so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide. I can't imagine better partners than Warner Bros and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen."
