movie 'Barbie' movie production caused international shortage of pink paint

[Kayseri Mantisi]

 

Quote

The production designer previously told IndieWire that “pink became the film’s thesis,” and that when it came to finding the perfect pink, “it was epic dealing with the painters, mixing the right colors.”

 

But due to construction, Greenwood told AD that there ended up being an international shortage of the fluorescent shade of Rosco paint. She added, “The world … ran out of pink.”

Too expensive.

This just sounds like a PR headline to get more attention to the movie lol!

I believe it. Apparently there isn't any CGI but they build a set is a little city.

Disgusting of Ms Robbie to hoard paint that could have went to low income houses.

Oh I hate PR headlines like this  usually when they hype a movie up with ridiculous claims like this the movie ends up sucking ass (not in a good way)

Not a dumb question at all. You’re probably right. All paint colors are made by mixing other colors, so this is probably not true. 
 

But like someone said, good for them, let them get those headlines

Screaming at this headline and pop culture Twitter running with it

[Smarticle]

It's giving Adele 30 vinyls 

[Mitsouko]

Obviously untrue to anyone with multiple brain cells

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

This movie is gonna do really well. I think the public is over "deep, real, depressing" film aesthetic and vibes and just wants fun movies lately

[UnfairTop]

Not one of those annoying fake articles only made to promote the movie 🙄 

[Park Jinyoung]
