There’s So Much Pink In ‘Barbie’ It’s Caused An International Paint Shortage

There’s So Much Pink In ‘Barbie’ It’s Caused An International Paint Shortage

Barbie doesn’t hit theaters for another month and a half and a lot about it still remains a mystery. But one thing is certain: it will be a seriously rosy film. Margot Robbie’s Mattel Living Doll lives in a world where just about everything is pink. And it’s not CGI: They really built a giant set on the Warner Bros. lot. in London, with pink accessories and pink, all-pink clothes. Indeed, there was so much pink that it caused a lack of paint.

In a profile of the upcoming film by Architectural Summary, director/co-writer Greta Gerwig told her team to go above and beyond, saying, “Maintaining the ‘kid-ness’ was paramount.” She added, “I wanted the roses to be very sparkly and almost everything to be too much.”

So that’s exactly what production designer Sarah Greenwood did, to the point that the fluorescent tint they got from the Rosco company dried up. “The world,” Greenwood said laughing, “has run out of pink.

Or did he? Los Angeles Times pressed Greenwood about it, and she admitted it wasn’t as simple as she claimed. When Barbie was in principal photography last summer, Rosco was still grappling with the global supply chain blighted by the pandemic. On top of that, the freak winter storm that hit Texas in 2021 damaged some of the materials the company used to make paint.

“There was this shortage,” Proud explained, “and then we gave them everything we could – I don’t know if they can claim the credit.”

Still, it seemed like it was worth it. At her sight, Barbie creates one of the ridiculously big houses in cinema, Gerwig citing the House of Peewee’s Big Adventure and Gene Kelly’s cramped apartment in An American in Paris.

“I wanted to capture what was so ridiculously fun about the Dreamhouses,” Gerwig told AD. “Why go down stairs when you can slip into your pool? Why plod up the stairs when you’re taking an elevator that matches your dress? »

Barbie hits theaters July 21.
