That Daniel Kaluuya led Barney the Dinosaur film is seemingly gearing up so as to add The Bear star Ayo Edebiri as a star and author on the venture.
In an age the place each single IP that has ever existed have to be tailored, rebooted, twisted into one thing new, there may be not one which feels extra “okay, positive, no matter” than Barney the Dinosaur. Introduced approach again in 2019, Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya’s 59% banner is partnering with Mattel Movies and Valparaiso Photos to develop a live-action adaptation of the beloved pinkish/ purplish/ greenish dinosaur, having beforehand been described as each a “surrealistic”, “A24-type” film whereas concurrently not being “odd”, which is sending some combined indicators, however no matter. Now, as reported by Selection, the movie is lastly bringing on a author, The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, who’s additionally apparently set to star within the venture.
She’s at present simply in talks on the casting facet proper now, however as of but there are nonetheless no plot particulars to glean from this specific replace. Edebiri undoubtedly has the bizarre artistic chops for one thing like this, so I am undoubtedly curious to see what comes of this. Mattel Movies government Kevin McKeon beforehand mentioned that they are “leaning into the Millennial angst of the property reasonably than fine-tuning this for teenagers,” and that it is “actually a play for adults. Not that it’s R-rated, however it’ll concentrate on a few of the trials and tribulations of being 30-something, rising up with Barney – simply the extent of disenchantment inside the technology.”
It genuinely does not sound like an terrible idea, Barbie, one other Mattel movie, clearly discovered a whole lot of success with its method to the enduring toy, although whether or not Barney has the legs – and widespread recognition – undoubtedly stays to be seen. Truthfully, my largest concern is that the trailer makes use of a tragic, slowed-down remix of the present’s principal theme. Get that nonsense out of right here!
