Monica Barbaro Teases Luca Guadagnino’s OpenAI Film ‘Artificial,’ Addresses Timothée

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.

Barbaro also discussed Simon Rich’s script, which was inspired by real events. Elsewhere in her Happy Sad Confused interview, Barbaro addressed comments made earlier this year by her A Complete Unknown co-star Timothée Chalamet, when he was asked whether audiences still have an interest.

What Happened

In his response, he said he wouldn’t want to be involved in an art form that “no one cares about,” citing ballet and opera as examples. Barbaro said she interpreted Chalamet’s comments as being more about declining audiences for ballet and opera.

• In June, Amazon MGM Studios announced it was dropping the feature just months after Amazon entered into a $50 billion investment with OpenAI.

• Barbaro herself comes from a dance background, having trained in ballet before pursuing acting.

• I feel like that was something where he was expressing something in a way that made it sound like it was about respect for the art form, when really I think it is about.
