Margot Robbie was full of smiles as she remained busy at work on the live-action Barbie movie on Saturday, her 32nd birthday.

As she filmed scenes with her co-star Ryan Gosling , who plays Barbie’s boyfriend Ken , she was also joined on set by her husband Tom Ackerley, who serves as producer on the flick alongside Margot through their LuckyChap Entertainment company.

Barbie has been a treasure trove of pictures recently as the movies cracks on with its shoot in Los Angeles, offering fans pictures of Margot and Ryan’s glorious matching cowboy-inspired outfits and first glimpses of co-stars Will Ferrell and America Ferrera in costume.

They’ve also roller-bladed together in retro fluorescents (obsessed) and we’ve seen Margot practising her Barbie crying – and even heard a clip of what she sounds like in character as the iconic Mattel doll.

Tom, also 32, was spotted on set in sunglasses over th e weekend, in a white T-shirt and stripey trousers, and carrying a rucksack.

During a break, Margot was reportedly seen chatting to her British husband, who she wed in 2016 in a private ceremony.

Ryan and Margot were also busy with more scenes though, with Drive star Ryan snapped once again in his incredible neon roller-blading get-up – truly bringing bumbags back single-handedly? – while his co-star donned a loose white shirt over her leotard and opted for comfy slippers in a break from the skating.

In their western gear, the two stars were seen striding together and smiling, while they also held hands and appeared to try out a synchronised shoulder swagger at one point.

Ryan, 41, was also spotted approaching Margot on a bus stop bench as they appeared to practise a scene together where he surprised her, judging by the script in Ryan’s hand and the animated expression on Margot’s face.

Director Greta Gerwig, who also penned the screenplay with help from her partner Noah Baumbach, was also photographed in pink trainers and a wide-brimmed hat as she sat with Margot in Barbie costume on the bench, either side of an older lady holding a newspaper, who Margot was in conversation with.

There have been many rumours over the exact plot line for the movie, although nothing has yet been officially revealed.

The synopsis for the film on IMDb reads: ‘A doll living in Barbieland is expelled for not being perfect enough and sets off on an adventure in the real world. A live-action feature film based on the popular line of Barbie toys.’

Many are also expecting a Meta aspect to the storyline with Will Ferrell reportedly appearing as the CEO of a toy company, which his recent appearance in a pink tie and business wear on set might back up.

Other actors in the star-studded cast include new Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa, Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon, Marvel superhero Simu Liu and more, with whispers Simu could be playing another Ken doll and Ncuti’s Sex Education co-star Emma Mackey might be Barbie’s little sister Skipper, thanks to her resemblance to Margot.

Barbie is due to hit cinemas on July 21, 2023.

Move over Squid Game, there’s a new Korean big-hitter that’s absolutely slaying everything in its path – and its name is Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area.

The series dropped last Friday and took just three days to claim the top spot in Netflix ’s global non-English viewing chart.

Racking up a staggering 33.7 millions hours of viewing during that time, the series also rocketed to number one in South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Money Heist: Korea joins other successful Korean series in claiming the top spot for Netflix, including ‘All Of Us Are Dead’, ‘Juvenile Justice’ and ‘Business Proposal’.

The show follows in the wake from trailblazing hit Squid Game, which paved the way for Korean content to reach previously unheard of levels of success across the globe.

Money Heist: Korea is a remake of major international hit La Casa de Papel (aka Money Heist), which involves a team of thieves breaking into a Spanish banknote printing facility, guided by an off-site mysterious colleague.

The new Korean version, which really pops and fizzes with an effortlessly distant cool, follows eight thieves staging a daring heist at a mint, thrillingly situated in the newly unified zone between North and South Korea.

“As a big fan of the original Spanish series, I felt intrigued to tell this vibrant story in a Korean context,” writer Ryu Yong-jae told Variety.

The show’s creators worked doggedly with Netflix to ensure the remake felt as authentic to Korea as possible. The highly visual storytelling is injected with many little nuances that make all the difference, such as traditional Korean face masks.

“We were very lucky when we received this pitch from Ryu and the producing team, which felt like the right framework for a remake that would be respectful to the original while bringing something new that fans in Korea and globally would appreciate,” said Keo Lee, director of content, Netflix Korea.

Money Heist: Korea has achieved a healthy 83 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes among critics, but scores a bafflingly lower 49 per cent with audiences. This disparity can be a little confusing, but Rotten Tomatoes says this can happen when fewer than 60 per cent of users give a movie or TV show a star rating of 3.5 or higher.

The show also has a very poor 5.1 rating on IMDB, with one user saying: “After 15 minutes you find out it’s only a copy paste from the original show. Very disappointing”.

Indeed, with it being a remake of a highly successful show, Money Heist: Korea is perhaps forever destined to live in its shadow.

This view is shared by one Rotten Tomatoes viewer, Changsik J, who posted: “Being remade means that a great original already exists. No matter how good a remake is, it can only be compared to the original, and it is easy to get bad reviews. Those who have already seen the Spanish version know the story. So it might be less fun. The main plot is based on a Spanish original. But it’s good because the details are Korean.”

Vanity Fair said: “The end result is a series that’s perhaps best suited for either ‘Money Heist’ superfans or those entirely new to the franchise. Still, ‘Money Heist: Korea’ proves to be a compelling watch based on its updated geopolitical context”.

The series director Kim Hong-sun told the Korean Times newspaper this week: “We tried to take in the strong elements that the original work had and thought it would be interesting to add our own story to it. So, I think it’s natural that we are getting such varied reviews”.
