Mattel CEO Clarifies: Daniel Kaluuya's Barney Movie Will Not Be Odd
Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz assures that the upcoming Barney movie produced by Daniel Kaluuya will not be odd, despite previous comments from Mattel Films executive Kevin McKeon suggesting a more adult-oriented approach. The film is said to be fun, entertaining, and culturally oriented, focusing on the trials and tribulations of being a 30-something and exploring themes of identity and alienation. While drawing inspiration from A24-type movies and the works of Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze, the film aims to surprise audiences and subvert expectations without being R-rated or straightforward like "Ted."
