00:00 Amy Schumer is revealing how she really felt about the Barbie movie after previously working

00:04 on an earlier version of the film that never made it to the big screen.

00:09 The comedian took part in the "Barbenheimer" craze, with many moviegoers seeing both Barbie

00:13 and Oppenheimer over the weekend.

00:15 In an Instagram post on Monday, she wrote that she really enjoyed both films, but she

00:20 joked that she thinks she should have played Emily Blunt's role in Oppenheimer, saying,

00:24 "Do better, Hollywood."

00:25 Schumer was previously tapped to star as the iconic fashion doll in a live-action movie

00:30 that was set up at Sony in 2016.

00:32 That film was described as a "fish-out-of-water" story about a woman kicked out of Barbie land

00:37 for not being "perfect enough."

00:39 Schumer dropped out of the project four months later, citing scheduling conflicts before

00:43 Anne Hathaway took on the role of Barbie.

00:45 And then Margot Robbie's production company Lucky Chap successfully convinced Warner Bros.

00:49 to take on the film.

00:51 The comedian previously told The Hollywood Reporter, "They definitely didn't want to

00:54 do it the way I wanted to do it.

00:56 The only way I was interested in doing it."

00:58 Schumer wrote her Barbie as an ambitious inventor.

01:01 The studio wanted said invention to be a "Jello high heel."
