Headline: Greta Gerwig had to cut a 'fart opera' scene from Barbie
Caption: During a joint interview with her longtime editor Nick Houy on IndieWire's Filmmaker Toolkit podcast the director revealed that they had to cut their fart sequence because test audiences didn't find it as funny as they did. "We've always tried to get in a proper fart joke and we've never done it. We had like a fart opera in the middle (of Barbie). I thought it was really funny. And that was not the consensus." Houy added, "It was in the wrong place, too. We need to work it into a more significant narrative moment next time."
