Actor Margot Robbie will star as the titular doll opposite Ryan Gosling as Ken in the upcoming film, Barbie, directed by Greta Gregwig. The first frack from the film Dance the Night, crooned and penned by Dua Lipa, was recently released. The actor reflected the song as a perfect fit for the film.
She told The Sun, “There are movies where you hear a song on the soundtrack and just think, ‘Wow, that fits perfectly’. That is what Dua has achieved with ‘Dance The Night’ – she has totally nailed it.” the actor said.
“It not only fits the movie perfectly, but when you hear it, you will just want to get up and dance. Maybe after the London premiere, we can have a few drinks and cut a few shapes to it on the dance floor. I am always down for that,” she added.
Earlier this week, Dua’s co-writer Mark Ronson said that the whole prospect of teaming up with her for the film started with a DM and believes the movie will be “incredible”.He said,”(I said to her) I only have the track so far, as they started rehearsals, but I would f****** love it if you would consider co-writing and starring in it. I honestly think the movie’s going to be incredible.”
Barbie will be released in cinemas on July 21.
