Ayo Edebiri Developed Her ‘Barney’ Movie Pitch With Her ‘Best Friend’ Who Has Since ‘Passed Away’: ‘I Got to Spend A Lot of Time With Her’
Ayo Edebiri developed her 'Barney' movie pitch with her 'best friend' who since 'passed away.'
During a recent discussion with The Wall Street Journal, Edebiri said that her pitch for the “Barney” movie, which will be produced by A24 and Daniel Kaluuya’s 59% Productions in partnership with “Barney” IP owner Mattel Films, was developed with her “best friend” who was very sick and has since “passed away.” Edebiri explained that their friendship went all the way back to the third grade when they “met in the picture day line.” “The Bear” star added that it was her friend who suggested she come to visit after noticing she was burnt out from work. Edebiri and Kaluuya’s involvement in the “Barney” movie was first announced back in February.
