A sequel to Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" is almost surely off the table, thanks to bitter tension in deal negotiations for the filmmakers and stars.

    Good? In what world was a sequel to that ever going to hit? It was a wonderfully weird fluke in popularity. I wonder if they’ve considered whether Gerwig and the others are demanding pay they know the studio won’t accept on purpose.

      They had a really good marketing run and Ryan Gosling.

          I’m a little irritated he’ll be playing Johnny Blaze in the upcoming Ghost Rider movie. I like him, just not for that part.

    Maybe, just maybe: not everything needs a sequel.

    I know the corpos like it because it tends to reduce their risk. But movie shovelware is one giant reason why that industry is in crisis, so maybe it’s time to put on the big boy pants and take the risks on new IPs.

    If there’s going to be a Barbie 2, there has to be an Oppenheimer 2 to round out the cinematic universe.

    The first one was perfect. It doesn’t need a sequel.
