HOT: BARBENHEIMER Set To Begin Filming On January 22, 2024

BARBENHEIMER’ is reportedly set to begin filming on January 22.

The movie follows a scientist doll in Dolltopia who tries to take out humanity with a nuclear bomb.

‘Oppenheimer’ surpasses $500 million, sets box office record for highest grossing film set during World War II

The posts from the official “Barbie” account responding to the unofficial memes were later deleted. But screengrabs posted on X showed the “Barbie” account responding positively to a meme of a mushroom cloud superimposed on the head of Margot Robbie, the film’s star, and to another post depicting “Oppenheimer” actor Cillian Murphy carrying a cheerful Barbie on his shoulder against a burning backdrop.

Critics said the posts trivialized the nuclear attacks on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US Air Force in 1945, which killed at least 110,000 people instantly and tens of thousands more from its aftereffects.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer marked his first biopic on the ‘father of atomic bomb’, J. Robert Oppenheimer whereas Greta Gerwig’s Barbie caught fan frenzy as a biting satire on the beloved Mattel doll, unlike any previous adaptation.

Taking this cinematic face-off to next level, renowned B-movie director Charles Band has announced his upcoming film called Barbenheimer where the manufacture of bombs and Barbies coalesce ingeniously into a low-budget comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The man behind Full Moon production company, Band boasts a repertoire of low-budget horror franchises like Puppet Master, Ghoulies, Trancers, and Demonic Toys as well as the cult-hit Re-animator. However, he also points out the need for humor amid the deluge of dark and sombre content in recent cinema.

Meanwhile, a rival hashtag – “NoBarbenheimer” – garnered attention on social media in Japan, with people using it to criticize the “Barbie” account’s conflation of the two films.

Jeffrey J. Hall, a US academic based in Tokyo, tweeted: “The #NoBarbenheimer controversy is a reminder of the perception gap between Japan and the US over the issue of nuclear weapons.

“Japanese grow up learning about the horrors of the a-bombs and every year’s memorial ceremonies are treated as national news … Although 78 years have passed, these events are far from forgotten in Japan.”
