Gluck had been weighing a handful of options following the success of Anyone but You and finally landed on this project on his next film. Given his track record of taking rising stars including Emma Stone, Sweeney and Powell and turning them into A-listers, the project attracted a ton of talent; Barbaro and Turner were top choices from the start.
Barbaro has had a slew of offers to choose from following her first Academy Award nomination earlier this year for her star-making performance as the iconic folk singer and activist Joan Baez in James Mangold's Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. She is in production on Luca Guadagnino's Artificial opposite Yura Borisov and Andrew Garfield for Amazon MGM.
Next up, Barbaro will make her stage debut at London's National Theatre in a revival of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' Les Liasons Dangereuses opposite Lesley Manville and directed by Tony and Olivier Award winner Marianne Elliott. She'll also star in Bart Layton's Crime 101 opposite Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry and Chris Hemsworth for Amazon MGM. Barbaro is also known for her breakout role as Phoenix opposite Tom Cruise and Miles Teller in Top Gun: Maverick, which received six Academy Award nominations including Best Picture.
As for Turner, he next will star in the film Rose of Nevada from Protagonist Pictures, written and directed by Mark Jenkin, opposite George MacKay, which will have its world premiere at the 2025 Venice Film Festival. He also will star in A24's romantic comedy feature film Eternity, directed by David Freyne, opposite Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller. The film is set to debut at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival in September before its theatrical release in November. Also upcoming, Turner will appear in the drama thriller film Rosebush Prunning, directed by Karim Aïnouz, starring alongside Jamie Bell, Riley Keough, Elle Fanning and Pamela Anderson.
Turner recently completed production on Neuromancer, Apple TV+'s adaptation of William Gibson's seminal cyberpunk novel. He will star as Case in the 10-episode series from creators Graham Roland and JD Dillard. He also attended the 2025 Sundance Film Festival for the world premiere of Atropia, a war satire film written and directed by Hailey Gates, produced by Guadagnino, also starring Alia Shawkat. The film won the Grand Jury Prize in the festival's U.S. Dramatic Competition.
Gluck directed the 2023 box office hit Anyone but You, starring Powell and Sweeney. He also helmed 2011's Friends with Benefits, starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, and 2010's Easy A starring Stone, in addition to launching the Peter Rabbit franchise.
Barbaro is represented by UTA, Range Media Partners and Meyer & Downs. Turner is represented by WME and Curtis Brown (UK). Gluck is repped by UTA and Sloane Offer.

Mind Reading: Alyson Stoner's Current Act Is All About Protecting Child Entertainers

Alyson Stoner began appearing on screen at age 9, starring in film and television projects including 'Cheaper By The Dozen,' 'Camp Rock,' 'The Suite Life of Zack & Cody' and Missy Elliott's 'Work It' music video. Now 32, Stoner (who uses they/them pronouns) is a vocal advocate for safeguarding child entertainers. They do so through Movement Genius, the company they founded in 2020 that offers science-backed resources to support mind and body, through championing conversations in the industry circles and, most recently, through the release of their new memoir, Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything. 'Literally everything' is a harrowing catch-all. Stoner survived sexual assault, battled an eating disorder, experienced stalkers and kidnapping plots, and 'had no idea what bodily autonomy and consent were until my early 20s.' Add in exposure to traumatic film and television storylines, daunting work schedules, being in rooms with adults who didn't display appropriate behavior around minors, financial pressure and instability, and the picture becomes even more vivid. 'I had a 15-person team of adults who relied on me to make them money and so even if my family said, 'This is just for fun,' I knew I'd be dropped like a fly if I didn't keep booking work,' Stoner says. 'For a child, it's important to have stability and routine and consistency. The industry is the absolute antithesis of that. It's last minute, life-altering opportunities. You're removed from school to go to an audition, you don't have childhood hobbies, highs are ultra high and lows are ultra low. There's cut-throat competition, constant rejection. It's not a recipe for a balanced developmental curve.' What the equation of these circumstances led to, Stoner says, 'was my nervous system's best attempt at coping, which became the development of deep trust issues, preferring to isolate, and experiencing high levels of dissociation. Plus, generalized anxiety disorder, eating disorder. None of these were random problems. They were survival responses for a young kid to try to stay safe and connected in a grownup world.' After years of extensive therapy and work, today Stoner is in a position of imagining new possibility. While many former child stars have exited Hollywood and not looked back, Stoner in some ways is digging in deeper. They're still immersed in entertainment—returning this summer to again voice a character in the new season of Disney series 'Phineas and Ferb,' for one. But with healing and newfound agency over their lived experiences, they're using ingrained knowledge of how to navigate the industry to push for safeguards that didn't exist when they were coming up. 'The industry didn't have any kind of front-line prevention or onboarding manual of what to expect. In fact, the resources provided to young artists and families center on the profitability of the child, the commodification of the child. You attend workshops that increase your chances of succeeding. You don't attend workshops about the child's wellbeing, at least when I started,' Stoner says. 'Fame has been proven to correspond to the same impact as being addicted to drugs, fame has been linked to shorter lifespan by up to 12-14 years, fame increases the likelihood of dying by suicide by three to four times. It's enough to ask ourselves, if we know that, why are we intentionally hooking a young child to an addictive drug?' 'With my experience, I feel, comes a responsibility to be a translator to people in different places of the industry. And I realize there is a lot at stake and how I deliver this message is not only going to reflect on my own reputation but anyone else who wants to come in and make a difference in this arena. But it's also the game I signed up for because I think there's something I can do to make a difference,' they add. Among resources provided by Movement Genius, which Stoner founded in 2020, is the Artist Wellbeing Essentials toolkit that provides foundational education on the mind-body connection for children, parents and caregivers. Tools are specifically tailored to the experiences of a performer such as getting in and out of character, managing stage fright, and coping with rejection and job uncertainty. Stoner is quick to not place blame on any individual but rather on a system they believe is now primed for reimagining. 'I think people are ready to update protocols and improve the standards,' they say. 'The gap we're trying to bridge is making sure productions, agents, the adults in the surrounding ecosystem know we're here to collaborate with and align with them and better support their young talent vs. trying to come in and disrupt or stop what they are doing. The term mental health still carries stigma and it can be fear-inducing if companies feel this is going to be some sort of liability issue, when in reality we're here to support you in creating a safer, more productive and more successful set experience.' 'It takes a lot of empathizing and understanding everyone's distinct location in the ecosystem and what information they are privy to and what information they may need to supplement and provide so it rounds out the decision making.' While more child entertainers are speaking out about their experiences in recent years - from Jennette McCurdy's memoir 'I'm Glad My Mom Died' to Demi Lovato-backed series 'Child Star' to Investigation Discovery doc 'Quiet on the Set' and Paramount+ series 'The Carters: Hurts To Love You' - Stoner says it's still just the tip of the iceberg. 'I'm more than ready to share intimate details of my personal experience so we can graduate the public conversation beyond just a sensational retelling and start to raise new questions and contemplate ways we can make a difference in what's happening,' they say. 'And also zoom out so we can see what's happening in the microcosm of child performers and media actually reflects larger cultural norms and societal myths it's time to debunk.' Mind Reading (formerly Hollywood & Mind) is a recurring column that features interviews with musicians, actors, athletes, creators and other culture influencers who are elevating conversation and action around mental health, and breaking stigma.

NBCUniversal Locks Down the BOURNE and TREADSTONE Book Rights in Huge Deal, Eyes Future Projects — GeekTyrant

NBCUniversal just pulled off a massive move that could supercharge the future of one of Hollywood's most iconic action franchises. The company has officially acquired all rights, excluding publishing, to Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne and Treadstone book series, locking them in for good. That means Bourne isn't going anywhere, and more importantly, it opens the door wide for a new wave of high-octane film and TV projects. The acquisition didn't come easy. According to Variety, the deal was the result of a fierce bidding war with seven studios and streamers vying for the rights. Ultimately, a jaw-dropping nine-figure offer sealed the deal and brought the property back home to Universal. Peter Cramer, president of Universal Pictures, shared his excitement saying: 'Since its debut in 2002, the iconic Bourne franchise has reshaped the spy genre with groundbreaking films that set new standards for cinematic action. We're energized to continue expanding the Bourne universe into the future with exciting new stories for global audiences.' Jeffrey Weiner, chairman and CEO of Captivate Entertainment and executor of Ludlum's estate, added: 'We are thrilled that the 'Bourne' franchise will remain at Universal. We look forward to working with the Universal team to expand the Bourne franchise across Universal's varied platforms.' With this new chapter, Frank Marshall will continue producing upcoming installments. Marshall has been at the heart of the Bourne franchise since the beginning and will once again team up with Captivate's Jeffrey Weiner and Ben Smith to shepherd future stories. Universal has already brought us five Bourne films, starting with The Bourne Identity directed by Doug Liman, followed by The Bourne Supremacy , The Bourne Ultimatum , and Jason Bourne helmed by Paul Greengrass, and the spin-off The Bourne Legacy starring Jeremy Renner and directed by Tony Gilroy. Together, these films have hauled in over $1.64 billion at the global box office. NBCUniversal has also stretched the Bourne IP across video games, merchandise, and even a popular live-action theme park show at Universal Studios Orlando called The Bourne Stuntacular . This deal plants a major flag for Universal and hints at big things to come.
