Monica Barbaro is in the thick of her rom-com summer — and she’s opening up about what’s next.
In a wide-ranging interview with Josh Horowitz on his Happy Sad Confused podcast to promote her new film, One Night Only, Barbaro teased what audiences can expect from Luca Guadagnino‘s Artificial, the upcoming film about the OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, starring Andrew Garfield.
“One day, we would show up, and Luca would be like, ‘This is a — what was the word he used? A zany comedy?’ No. ‘Madcap,’” the actress said. “He would basically be like, ‘This is a madcap comedy.’ Then the next day, he’d be like, ‘It’s a horror story.’”
She added, “Having seen it, I’m like, ‘Yeah, it’s all of it.’ But, to be clear, I don’t think it suffers at all from a lack of tone or confusion of tone. I think, in reality, it kind of is all of that.”
In June, Amazon MGM Studios announced it was dropping the feature just months after Amazon entered into a $50 billion investment with OpenAI. Neon later landed the film.
