"  While it may seem like an incongruous time for this, considering the body-positive revolt against Barbie as we know her, Sony Pictures is working with Mattel on a live-action comedy starring the iconic doll. To be fair, the plot doesn&amp;#039;t just sound like Barbie lying around the Malibu Dream House painting her nails \u2014 actually sounds like it could be #empowering (via Deadline):   It allows the character Barbie to use her personal and professional skills to step into the lives of others and improve them, almost like a modern-day Mary Poppins. That storyline allows for the discovery of a young actress to play the title character, and young cast to play Ken and Barbie&amp;#039;s best friend, putting stars around them that can change in subsequent movies.    The script will be penned by Jenny Bicks, a former Sex and the City writer. Which is quite fitting. Let&amp;#039;s just hope the actress cast isn&amp;#039;t Human Barbie.
