Daniel Kaluuya’s ‘Off-Kilter’ Barney Movie Gets New Details

Actor Daniel Kaluuya’s Barney movie has gotten a few more details

The British actor has received praise for his performances in movies like Get Out, Judas and the Black Messiah, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. He recently ventured into producing with the 2022 movie Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. Recently, more details on an upcoming film he is producing and starring in were revealed.

Robbie Brenner, Head of Mattel Films and executive producer of the wildly successful Barbie movie, shared a few more details about the project which was previously described as “surrealistic” and “A24-esque”. “I don’t know that it’s necessarily going to be darker. It’s just going to be unique — more of like a ‘Being John Malkovich’ or an ‘Adaptation,’” she told Variety, referencing the 1999 and 2002 Spike Jonze films.

“Any movie that has Barney is not certainly going to be straightforward,” Brenner adds. “We’re not making ‘Ted.’ You know what I mean?” This is a reference to Seth MacFarlane’s R-rated comedy movie series about a talking teddy bear.

Brenner says the Barney movie will be about “identity and finding who you love and who feels alienated.” Furthermore, it will “be more adult and have adult themes — and sort of be a little bit off-kilter.”

When does the Barney movie come out?

There is no word yet on a release date.
