JAKARTA - Greta Gerwig reveals some interesting facts from the shooting process of her latest film, Barbie. When the trailer for the film was first released, many talked about Margot Robbie's leg scenes which were called iconic scenes.

In a recent interview, Greta Gerwig as the director explained that she did not use CGI for the scene.

There was a big discussion at first. Everyone said, 'Are you going to make CGI all over her leg?' Greta Gerwig's story reports The Project.

"I thought 'Ah no! That's scary! A nightmare. Moreover, Margot has beautiful feet. She has very beautiful dancer feet," he continued.

In a separate interview, Noah Baumbach's wife explained that the scene was taken eight times. Robbie was asked to stay for her legs to look flexural.

"(Margot Robbie) has to hold on to make his legs look flexural and yes that's his leg. I don't like it when other people do my hands or feet, that's what he said," Gerwig said, imitating Robbie's words.

In the main trailer, Margot Robbie's Barbie is seen entering Dream House by removing her pink heels from her feet. Her leg looks in the same position even though she has entered the house.

Greta Gerwig feels that Barbie films that depart from a large brand also have a personal side.

Even though it's a big film, it feels personal to me. This is made with people who care about it. Even the Barbie logo we used was the logo I saw as a child in the '80s,' Greta's story again.

"I'm standing in front of a toy shop... we have a large box because their hair is very big. I want the logo I like," he continued.

Barbie is Greta Gerwig's latest film produced by Warner Bros. This film tells of Barbie's adventures in finding the truth outside of life that she has lived in all this time.

Apart from Margot Robbie as the main character, this film also features a number of top stars such as Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Sharon Rooney, Dua Lipa, Nicola Coughlan, Ana Cruz Kayne, Ritu Arya, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Simu Liu, and others.
