Daniel Kaluuya explains why his live-action adaptation of Barney is so "poignant" right now
“I have no idea why but it feels like that makeꦅܫs sense”

Daniel Kaluuya shot to fame in Jordan Peele’s 2017 horror Get Out, and has since starred in hits like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Panther and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Queen & Slim. It’s understandable, then, that we were all a little bit confused when it was ann𓆉ounced that Kaluuya would produce a live-action Barney movie with Mattel.
If that news wasn’t enough to get you scratching your head, his recent comments about the film will do the trick. Speaking to , Kaluuya said: “Barney taught us, ‘I love you, you lo🐻ve me. Won’t you say you love me too?’ That’s one of the first songs I remember, and what happens when that isn’t true?”
He added, &ld🦹quo;I thought that was really heartbreaking. I have no idea why but it feels like that makes sense. It feels like there’s something unexpected that can be poignant but optimistic. Es꧃pecially at this time now, I think that’s really, really needed.”
Kaluuya is definitely right thﷺat we could all use some optimism right now, and we’re intrigued as to how poignant and heart-breaking Barney can be.
This isn’t the first time Kaluuya has shared some strange info on his Barney movie. Last year, Kaluuya said: “Barney was a ubiquitous figure in many of our childhoods, then he disappeared into the sha💞dows, left misunderstood.”
Kaluuya’s statements on the project so far might raise more questions than answers, and we’ll probably be waiting a while for more details on the project – so far, the film has no release da🍬te, and no members of the cast have been announced.
