Valeria Lukyanova, the real-life version of Barbie, may find herself in a movie based on the popular doll, herself.

It was recently announced that Barbie would be getting her very own live-action film, and according to The Inquistr published on Friday, critics are making comments on what kind of actress could play the leading role. Apparently, they don't believe that an actual human version of Barbie would make the film look good at all.
"If filmmakers try to remake a real person to look like Barbie she will look too absurd for anyone to concentrate on the story," Case Western Reserve University professor Renee Sentilles said.
Executive director of Women and Media in News Jennifer L. Pozner supposedly believes that it doesn't matter who gets cast for the part because there will still be a negative message to young girls.
"Even though she will be structurally sound unlike the doll, even though she won't fall forward on the weight of her own breasts and the lack of ability of her frame to hold herself up, she will still be taking a franchise into 3D that tells girls that the farther away they get from that white, skinny, tall, blond, big rack ideal, the less pretty, the less valuable, and the less successful they'll be," Pozner explained.
Despite others having issues with the film, Lukyanova may prove that a human form of Barbie may be able to take on the part, although nothing has been confirmed for that at this point.
