Barbie and Oppenheimer collide in Nuketown-style Fortnite map

We now know where Greta Gerwig's Barbie Land would be located in the real world – and science says it wouldn't be California.

The Boys star Aya Cash has joined the cast of another superhero satire: HBO's comedy The Franchise, per Entertainment Weekly. 

Barbie has now made $1 billion at the box office – and there's no sequel on the horizon. Neither writer-director Greta Gerwig nor her co-writer (and real-life partner) Noah Baumbach has a contract for Barbie 2, but that doesn't mean the studio hasn't tried to convince Gerwig. 

Every character in Greta Gerwig’s Barbieis perfectly crafted perfection. The dolls — Stereotypical Barbie, Beach Ken, and dorky Allan, among others — steal the spotlight, but Gerwig considers her human characters, the ones who give these toys ideas and conflicts, too. There’s the goofy Mattel CEO (Will Ferrell) and abrasive teenager Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt).

Greetings, Polygon readers!

Christopher Nolan loves the big screen. Oppenheimeris proving, once again, that it loves him right back. But long before anyone had actually seen Nolan’s fantastic biopic, the director and his fans alike were talking about its biggest (literally) selling point: IMAX 70mm film projection.

Christopher Nolan seemingly included a horrifying detail in Florence Pugh’s Oppenheimer scenes. The actor plays Jean Tatlock in the movie, who was J. Robert Oppenheimer’s (Cillian Murphy) partner before his marriage to Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt). 

Christopher Nolan said it himself: Watching his movie Oppenheimerwill basically ruin your life, and might even make you feel like you’re being blown up. If Nolan fans really want that kind of overwhelming experience, they likely want to watch the film in Nolan’s preferred format. His biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man who spearheaded the development of the atomic bomb, asks the audience to stare the destroyer of worlds right in the face, and Nolan thinks the best way to do that is in 70mm IMAX film — or as some die-hards call it, “true IMAX.”

Bet you'd never imagine reading this sentence: Evil Dead Rise fans have spotted a parallel between the horror sequel and Barbie. It's a stretch, yes, and it's toe-tally weird to boot, but they've spotted it – and taken to Twitter to highlight it. 

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is finally upon us, and audiences love it. The comedy starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the eponymous doll and her maybe-boyfriend Ken has made big money at the box office, with audiences and critics both effusively praising the film’s extravagant production design and pitch-perfect soundtrack alongside Robbie’s and Gosling’s sensational performances.

The tremendously popular Barbie movie that stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is being misused by cybercriminals to launch malware attacks worldwide in order to cash in on the mega-blockbuster, revealed a McAfee report. These cybercriminals are luring consumers by promising free downloads of the Barbie film or tickets. Instead, when someone downloads the file, it installs data-stealing spyware!

Of the many details worth returning to in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, one of the most striking comes only after learning how the film was made. In what might be the movie’s most harrowing scene, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) delivers a victory speech to the assembled scientists of the Manhattan Project after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While Oppenheimer gives a jingoistic speech to rapturous applause, Nolan depicts the physicist to be in internal anguish, as visions of destruction warp his perception of the event.
