Sneak Peek "Birds of Prey" actress Margot Robbie for "ES" Magazine, wearing Chanel, Molly Goddard and a whole lot more, photographed by Max Papendieck:
Robbie is producing and starring in "Birds of Prey", opening February 2020, reprising her "Suicide Squad" role as DC Comics' 'Harley Quinn'...
...for director Cathy Yan ("Dead Pigs") from a screenplay by Christina Hodson ("Batgirl"):
The other "Birds of Prey" include DC Comics' 'Black Canary', 'Huntress', 'Cassandra Cain' and 'Renee Montoya', with 'David Cain' as the villain.
"I pitched the idea of an 'R-rated' girl gang film including 'Harley', because I was like, 'Harley needs friends'...
"...Harley loves interacting with people, so don't ever make her do a standalone film," said Robbie.
"She’s got to be with other people, it should be a girl gang. I wasn't seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space...
"And then of course having a female director to tell that story. And giving a female director the chance to do big budget stuff.
"They always get ‘Here’s the tiny little film’… I was like, ‘I love action.
"I love action films. I’m a girl. What, are we meant to only like a specific thing’?...
"So it was a hugely important to find a female director for this, if possible.
"But at the end of the day — male, female — the best director gets the job and Cathy was the best director."
Robbie's LuckyChap produces with Sue Kroll, Kroll & Co Entertainment and Bryan Unkeless of Clubhouse Pictures.
The original "Birds of Prey", was a partnership between 'Black Canary' and 'Barbara Gordon', aka 'Oracle'.
'Harley Quinn' (Mia Sara) also appeared in the TV series "Birds of Prey".
