In July of 2023, Netflix announced that not only had they axed their plans to adapt Mattel's "Masters of the Universe" property into a live-action film, but they were doing so after spending over $30 million in development. Fans had been looking forward to a human He-Man flick since it was first announced in 2007, but the development with Sony Pictures in 2022 seemed like a sure bet. Then it was scrapped, but the project's move to Netflix made sense considering the streamer is home to "He-Man & Masters of the Universe," "Masters of the Universe: Revelation," and "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power." Unfortunately, Netflix dropped the project, which had already cast actor/dancer Kyle Allen to play He-Man/Prince Adam, and Mattel was left looking for a new home for the film. According to a recent report from Variety, that home has been found with Amazon and Travis Knight has been announced as the director.

Jimmy Kimmel did a fantastic job with the 2024 Oscars opening monologue, touching briefly on politics but mostly focusing the jokes around this year’s nominees. Kimmel called out Greta Gerwig’s Oscar snub, this year’s Oppenheimer nomination being a new “high” in Robert Downey Jr’s career, and compared Emma Stone playing an adult woman with the brain of a child to the woman who gave the rebuttal to the State of the Union address. Kimmel’s monologue ended with a standing ovation as he brought Teamsters & IATSE members onto the stage, thanking them for standing with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA during last year’s strikes.

Forget what that Christmas song says! Here at TV Fanatic, we think award season is the most wonderful time of the year.
And in terms of both television ratings and general global interest, award shows don't get any bigger than the Academy Awards.
The stakes are higher than usual this year, as some major blockbuster films with some very devoted fan bases appear to be neck-and-neck in some of the major categories.
The race between Barbie and Oppenheimer (two quite different films that hit theaters on the same day) might be getting the most attention, but there's always a chance that a dark horse could sneak up from behind and snatch Best Picture away from both front runners.
Meanwhile, several of the acting categories are anyone's game and certain to create controversy no matter the outcome.
So without further ado, here are this year's predictions and hot takes from two...

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series spotlighting the year’s most talked-about scripts continues with Barbie, a cultural phenomenon that became 2023’s highest-grossing film at $1.45 billion worldwide. It’s also got eight Oscar nominations, including for Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s screenplay, which AMPAS put in the Adapted category despite other bodies — including the Writers Guild — clocking it as Original.
Either way, Barbie’s a doll, and the script boasts one of the most talked-about monologues in recent memory, delivered by America Ferrara’s Gloria in the film.
The story centers on Margot Robbie’s “stereotypical” Barbie, whose every day is the best day ever, until a glitch occurs which sends her to the real world (accompanied by Ryan Gosling’s Ken). There, they discover truths they’d never imagined — some hard, some misguided and some very poignant — before heading back to Barbie Land to set things straight.

“There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” Margot Robbie said during a panel at a special SAG screening on Tuesday night.
Robbie, who both produced and starred in Barbie, was responding to the missed Oscar nominations for director Greta Gerwig and herself in the Lead Actress category—a situation that has sparked much online discourse and disappointment for Barbie fans.
“Obviously I think Greta should be nominated as a director, because what she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing, what she pulled off, it really is,” Robbie said. “But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.”
Barbie is the only billion-dollar film solely directed by a woman, and it outstripped all other films at the box office last year, bringing home $1.4 billion worldwide. As Robbie said, the reaction to the film has become a kind of cultural phenomenon: “I just...

Bob the Builder is ready for his big screen debut.
The construction worker with a can-do attitude will be the subject of a new animated feature film from Mattel Films. Jennifer Lopez is producing “Bob the Builder,” while “In the Heights” star Anthony Ramos will voice the title character.
A twist on the long-running children’s series, “Bob the Builder” follows Roberto (aka Bob) who travels to Puerto Rico for a major construction job. According to the official logline, audiences will see Bob as he “takes on issues affecting the island and digs deeper into what it means to build. Bob’s journey will celebrate the vibrant and colorful textures of the Caribbean Latin nations and their people.” Felipe Vargas (the upcoming “Rosario”) is attached to write the screenplay; a director has not been announced.

It’s been the year of a million pinks, billion dollar blockbusters, and apparently, hundreds of thousands of opinions about “Barbie.” So we’re adding yet another one to the mix: The Academy Awards excluding Greta Gerwig from the Best Director category and Margot Robbie from the Best Actress race does not prove that Kens really do rule the world.
Let’s look at the facts: “Barbie” received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay for Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling, Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera, and a slew of crafts nods.
However, along with Charles Melton in “May December,” Penelope Cruz in “Ferrari,” and the “Priscilla” screenplay, “Barbie” was also “snubbed,” namely for lead star/executive producer Robbie and writer/director Gerwig in their respective categories of Best Actress and Best Director. When the nominations were announced, Twitter was set ablaze,...

Former First Lady Hillary Clinton posted an encouraging message addressed to Barbie duo Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie on Wednesday morning in response to their high-profile snubs amongst the nominations for this year’s Oscars.
“Greta & Margot. While it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold,” Clinton began her note on X and Instagram, “your millions of fans love you.”
Clinton ended her message with a reference to Ryan Gosling’s now-Oscar-nominated Barbie tune “I’m Just Ken.” She said: “You’re both so much more than Kenough.”

Hollywood star Ryan Gosling has mixed feelings after this year’s Oscar nominees were unveiled. While Gosling, 43, scored a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his work in ‘Barbie’, his thoughts were with Greta Gerwig, who failed to be nominated in the Best Director category, and Margot Robbie, who was left out of the Best Actress category, reports ‘People’ magazine.
The actor said in a statement, “There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film”.
He told ‘People’, “No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius.”
He explained that to say he’s disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories “would be an understatement”.
“Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh,...

Ryan Gosling is sharing his thoughts after Barbie star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig were snubbed by the Oscars.
Although Barbie scored a total of eight nominations, Gerwig was not named in the Best Director category and Robbie didn’t land a Best Actress nom.

Margot Robbie introduced her Barbie co-star, saying: “She is an artist and an activist. She tells us the truth and asks us to reach for something more in the world and in ourselves. She deserves to be celebrated.”
When Ferrera stepped to the stage, she had a bit of a teleprompter issue that got the audience laughing (in a supportive way) before delivering an inspirational speech.
Read her full speech below.
I’m just waiting for the teleprompter to show my speech. There it is.

Ten years on from her explosive breakthrough in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, Margot Robbie has had the moment of her career with Barbie, a project she shepherded to the screen as a producer long before she claimed the lead role. After more than a billion dollars at the box office, Barbie has entered the zeitgeist, and Robbie is ready to take a victorious breath, finds Joe Utichi.
Success takes many forms, but few movie stars can ever claim to find themselves where Margot Robbie has set up camp at the start of 2024. In the wake of the enormous triumph of Barbie, she has achieved the kind of household recognition that has proved elusive for so many actors of her generation.

Mattel headquarters, in El Segundo, is some three freeways removed from the heart of Hollywood. It shares a parking lot with a DoubleTree, and the Stamps.com headquarters is across the road, but given the hold that Barbie has on the entertainment industry, it might as well be the center of the universe. Inside, Hot Wheels decorate the walls, a giant Magic 8 Ball sits by the elevator, Barbie-centric Warhols and Basquiats are housed on the upper floors, and Robbie Brenner is navigating future projects after producing the movie that became the cultural touchstone of 2023.

“Barbie’s” billion-dollar box office haul has opened the door for more feature film adaptations of iconic plastic ladies. American Girls, the 18-inch dolls that had an absolute chokehold over millennial youths, are finally getting their day on the big screen. That’s right: Samantha, Kirsten, Molly, Felicity, Addy (and maybe even a few more — fingers crossed for the ’90s twins) are going to Hollywood.
Fresh off their success from Greta Gerwig’s summer blockbuster, Mattel Films announced plans to produce another toy-centric flick with Paramount Pictures and Temple Hill Entertainment, based on the American Girl dolls.
Screenwriter Lindsey Anderson Beer, who penned and directed “Pet Sematary: Bloodlines” and Netflix’s “Sierra Burgess is a Loser,” is attached to write the screenplay and produce.

After a remarkable run in theaters, Greta Gerwig’s pop culture phenomenon Barbie is making its way to streaming, having set a premiere date on Max of December 15th.
The highest grossing film in the history of Warner Bros, at a worldwide gross exceeding $1.4 billion, Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the “stereotypical” version of the Mattel doll, who comes to suffer an existential crisis after traveling from Barbie Land into the real world with new beau, Ken (Ryan Gosling).
Gerwig directed from her script written with Noah Baumbach. Pic’s starry ensemble also includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Will Ferrell, Ariana Greenblatt, Emma Mackey, Alexandra Shipp, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Hari Nef, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Rhea Perlman, Ncuti Gatwa, and Emerald Fennell, among others.
Robbie and Tom Ackerley produced under their LuckyChap Entertainment banner, alongside Mattel’s Robbie Brenner and Heyday Films’ David Heyman, with LuckyChap’s Josey McNamara...

Come on, Barbie, let’s go party at my house when Greta Gerwig’s Barbie comes to 4K HD, Blu-ray, and DVD later this month! The physical release of 2023’s highest-grossing film hits shelves and online retailers on October 17, bringing laughter, existential crisis, and harsh lessons about social constructs to your living room!
Barbie converted the summer into a dance party when the musical comedy turned most theater tickets pink, earning $1.4B worldwide! The film presents the iconic blonde bombshell in ways we’ve never seen while taking Mattel to task for decades of questionable motivation concerning its portrayal of “toys for girls.” To Mattel’s credit, the legendary toy company leans into Gerwig and Noah Baumbach’s biting script, giving the Hollywood couple plenty of room to play in Barbie Land. Barbie is a unique film experience worth watching, and you can pre-order a copy of the film by clicking this link.

With Mattel Films off to the races thanks to the blockbuster success of “Barbie,” the studio is moving full steam ahead on its upcoming Barney movie produced by Daniel Kaluuya. The project became a subject of fascination for cinephiles after Mattel Films executive Kevin McKeon told The New Yorker in July that the script was similar to an A24 movie and the “surrealistic” films from Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze. Neither of these sources of inspirations are necessarily family friendly.
“That one is getting a lot of reaction,” Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz recently told Semafor. “It’s too early to be specific, but I can tell you we are taking a fresh approach that will be fun, entertaining and culturally oriented. It will not be an odd movie.”
According to Kreiz, Kaluuya’s Barney movie will not be odd. This comes after McKeon said of the project: “We’re leaning...

On the heels of the record-breaking performance of “Barbie,” veteran film executive Robbie Brenner has been elevated to president of Mattel Films.
Brenner moves up from her role as executive producer at Mattel, the longstanding toy company that’s spent years switching focus to original content based on its intellectual property under CEO Ynon Kreiz. She’s been in-house since 2018.
