Daniel Kaluuya and Mattel are set to bring Barney to life in an adventurous live action picture!
Kaluuya is to produce the release via his company 59% and will work with Mattel’s Kevin McKeon to bring the children’s TV character to cinematic life with the full support of co-producers Rowan Riley, Amandla Crichlow, David Carrico, Adam Paulsen and Bobby Hoppey.
When asked about the project Mattel had this to say “Working with Daniel Kaluuya will enable us to take a completely new approach to Barney that will surprise audiences and subvert expectations. The project will speak to the nostalgia of the brand in a way that will resonate with adults, while entertaining today’s kids.”
