Daniel Kaluuya and Mattel are teaming up to make a live-action Barney the Dinosaur movie.
“Working with Daniel Kaluuya will enable us to take a completely new approach to Barney that will surprise audiences and subvert expectations,” said Brenner.
The Oscar nominated star of Get Out will produce the film based on the children’s TV character who hosted Barney & Friends from 1998 to 2009.
“Barney was a ubiquitous figure in many of our childhoods, then he disappeared into the shadows, left misunderstood,” said Kaluuya.
