Due to scheduling conflicts, Amy Schumer had to drop her role in the upcoming Barbie movie (which is said to be released June 29, 2018).

 

 

To replace her role, Amy says that actress Anne Hathaway (Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada) would make the “perfect Barbie.”

 

 

The movie is described to be “a fish-out-of-water” tale, about a woman who slowly realizes she doesn’t fit into the ‘perfect’ Barbie world and journeys into the real world.

 

 

Amy pulled the plug back in March and in a recent Instagram post, gave her blessing to Anne, who is the front-runner for the role however, she has yet to negotiate a deal.

 

 

The movie is directed by Alethea Jones (a director from Australia) and produced by Amy Pascal.
