Greta Gerwig is an American actress, playwright, screenwriter, and director based in NY. She has collaborated with Noah Baumbach on several films, including Greenberg (2010), Frances Ha (2012), for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination, and Mistress America (2015). Gerwig made her solo directorial debut with the critically acclaimed comedy-drama film Lady Bird (2017), which she also wrote, and has also had starring roles in the films Damsels in Distress (2011), Jackie (2016), and 20th Century Women (2016). Greta Celeste Gerwig was born in Sacramento, California, to Christine Gerwig (née Sauer), a nurse, and Gordon Gerwig, a financial consultant and computer programmer. She has German, Irish, and English ancestry. Gerwig was raised as a Unitarian Universalist, but also attended an all-girls Catholic school. She has described herself as "an intense child". With an early interest in dance, she intended to get a degree in musical theatre in New York. She graduated from Barnard College in NY, where she studied English and philosophy, instead. Originally intending to become a playwright, after meeting young film director Joe Swanberg, she became the star of a series of intellectual low budget movies made by first-time filmmakers, a trend dubbed "mumblecore". Gerwig was cast in a minor role in Swanberg's LOL (2006) in 2006, while still studying at Barnard. She then appeared in many of Swanberg's films, and personally co-directed, co-wrote and co-produced one entitled Nights and Weekends (2008). She has worked with good quality directors such as Ti West (The House of the Devil (2009)), Whit Stillman (Damsels in Distress (2011)), or Woody Allen (To Rome with Love (2012)) but success and (international) recognition did not come until Frances Ha (2012), directed by Noah Baumbach, a film she also co-wrote. Both tall and immature, awkward and graceful, blundering and candid, annoying and engaging, Greta has won all hearts in the title role of Frances Ha(liday). In 2017, she wrote and directed the highly acclaimed, semi-autobiographical teen movie Lady Bird (2017), set in 2002-2003, and starring Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, and Timothée Chalamet. In 2011, Gerwig received an award for Acting from the Athena Film Festival for her artistry as one of Hollywood's definitive screen actresses of her generation.
A remake and a retelling of the story but it actually has a good plot and a longer length. Instead of it being sad, it would be a badass revenge movie but with more of a dark side. The movie would be bold and specific plot wise. Taking place in the mid to late 60s, the story revolves around Babydoll, who is a girl suffering with PTSD from her stepfathers sexual abuse towards her and her sister. After he kills her sister and her mother, he frames it on her having her sent to a crooked asylum that is run by evil men. The asylum manager; Blue, is a woman hater who lets the patients be abused and has them all be lobotomized by forging signatures so they can’t speak up. Babydoll sees it happening there and plans an escape with the other 4 girls. She imagines it as a brothel because she sees it like that with all of the sexual abuse going on. She imagines Dr. Vera Gorski as her choreographer. The lobotomy doctor has the same plot point as the 2011 movie but he’s actually a good guy. Babydoll teams up with the girls and Dr. Vera joins them along the way to help them escape and have the asylum exposed. Babydoll also plans to get revenge on her stepfather.
