As things continue to take shape, Paramount Pictures leaders Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein will now promoted to expansive creative post, multiple sources tell Variety.
What sources have revealed that Goldberg and Greenstein have already reaching out to key talent at Warner Bros, like Margot.
Sources say that wheels are already turning to lock in a sequel to Gerwig.
Notably, Ellison has also robbed in former Mattel CEO Ynon Kriez to be the co-CEO at the new company.
“There’s no way ‘Barbie 2’ doesn’t happen,” said the source.
Huge pay demands that may shelve the sequel
The talks are failing with the Barbie makers and producers over the significant budget rise. According to Variety, the Warner Bros has been making offers since 2023.
Over the years, the outlet has made at least seven offers, and all have been rejected.
The studio has put its biggest offer yet on the table for the filmmaking team, described by insiders as “life-changing money” and the highest package the studio has ever extended to a team and its stars.
However, another source cautioned that while the overall deal may be historic, “individual compensation is not.” As per reports, Gosling, who plays Ken, has allegedly demanded $20 million.
