Anne Hathaway Praises Successful 'Barbie' Movie, Calls Unmade Version 'Lucky'

Hathaway, originally slated for the role, applauds the 'bullseye' hit by the Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig version that grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide.

Anne Hathaway, who was initially slated to star in a 'Barbie' movie that was never made, has praised the version that was eventually produced, starring Margot Robbie and directed by Greta Gerwig.
Hathaway referred to the successful version of the 'Barbie' movie as 'hitting a bullseye' and causing 'the entire world to reach this level of ecstasy'.
She described her own version not being made as a 'lucky thing', believing that the Gerwig/Robbie version was 'the best possible version'.
The 'Barbie' movie has been a commercial and critical success, grossing over $1.4 billion worldwide and receiving nine Golden Globe nominations.
Hathaway was originally attached to the project after comedian Amy Schumer dropped out due to creative differences. The project was eventually taken over by Robbie's production company, Lucky Chap, and brought to Warner Bros.
