Daniel Kaluuya has provided an update on the live-action Barney movie that he's producing – according to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie is in early development and the script is being reworked. 

"My last number of films have been so aligned to kind of what I stand for as a man," he told the publication in a recent interview. "But there are a whole lot of things that I do as a man. I love kids' films. How did everyone get into films? Watching kids' films. I don’t want to restrict myself to the limitations of what I’m perceived as."

What else can we expect from the movie? Back in 2020, Kaluuya said of the purple dinosaur: "Barney taught us, 'I love you, you love 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? 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."
