Greta Gerwig She’s already circling her next movie – but it won’t be a walk in the park like “Barbie”… if anything, she makes it sound like quite the opposite.
The writer-director appeared at the London Film Festival on Sunday — where she took to the stage for an interview with the “Succession” producer. jesse armstrong …who asked her a lot of questions, including whether she was coming down the pike.

Gerwig didn’t give away specifics about what exactly she’s working on… but did confirm that she’s already in the writing process for another feature, which she’s feeling apprehensive about.
“It’s hard and I’m having recurring nightmares,” she says. There is no video that has surfaced of him making this comment – just recaps from outlets that existed – so there’s no real context as to how exactly he said it, or what he actually meant. Is.
Some have interpreted his comments as feeling scared upon re-entering the writing process… but the quote itself is a bit odd, given that “Barbie” was light-hearted and easy to watch. – Not to mention the whole home run crowd pleaser,
We can guess that “Barbie 2” isn’t what she’s talking about. There’s no word yet on a greenlit sequel – despite the success of OG – if it was already happening any hint of it would have leaked by now. Then again, the WGA strike just ended — so… 🤷🏽♂️
Worth noting… “Barbie” is Greta’s first big film mainstream blockbuster, and its tone is incredibly different from anything else he’s worked on. She has an indie background, and if her nightmare pinch is any indication – she may be in serious trouble for now.
