Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner to star in One Night Only
The A Complete Unknown actress and the 35-year-old actor will appear in the upcoming Universal Pictures movie, which follows two strangers who scramble to find someone to sleep with on the annual night when premarital sex is legal.
Will Gluck is to direct the movie, and the Anyone but You helmsman is also rewriting Travis Braun's script, which topped the 2024 Blacklist, an annual survey of the most liked but unproduced screenplays in Hollywood.
The director - who is known for working with rising stars including Emma Stone, Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney - will also produce with Olive Bridge Entertainment, along with the company's vice president, Jacqueline Monetta. In addition, Senior EVP Production Development Erik Baiers and Director of Production Development Jacqueline Garell will oversee the project for the studio.
One Night Only is expected to be released on 7 August, 2026.
Callum has a string of new projects in the work as he will next be seen in Rosebush Prunning, Rose of Nevada, and Eternity.
Monica - who is preparing to make her stage debut at the National Theatre in London in a revival of Les Liasons Dangereuses - has had a string of offers since being nominated for her first Oscar thanks to her portrayal of Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown. She is currently in production opposite boyfriend Andrew Garfield in Luca Guadagnino's Artificial.
The 35-year-old actress previously revealed she had singing lessons two or three times a week while working on A Complete Unknown, turning to
vocal coach Eric Vetro – who previously assisted Austin Butler for Elvis – for guidance.
She told IndieWire: "I met with Eric two, three times a week for the entirety of this process aside from the strike... in that time, I just sang alone and used the recordings he had created for me. He's the guy. He knows how to do this.
"We talked in the beginning about getting her iconic vocal qualities... the tight vibrato and the pitch. I couldn't sing in that key when I first auditioned.
"It was about trying to nail those elements of her voice and get that initial believability that this is Joan up there. Replicating her voice is impossible."
Monica also got the opportunity to meet the real Joan.
She said: "I wasn't sure if I should reach out personally.
"I sort of went behind (the production's) back and asked my agents... she agreed to it, we picked a time. It was professionally done just sort of sneakily so.
"When we spoke on the phone, I was saying something to the effect of deferring to her on something. She was like, 'I'm just in the backyard, sitting outside, watching the birds.' I was like, yeah, you're not wrapped up in what we say about you. This doesn't define you in any way."

Timothee Chalamet reteams with James Mangold for High Side
Timothee Chalamet is reteaming with director James Mangold for new heist movie High Side. The pair first worked collaborated on Oscar-nominated Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and they are now working on a new project in which Chalamet plays a former Motocross racer who is drawn into taking part in a series of bank robberies. Mangold said in a statement: "Timothee is a trusted collaborator, a generational artist and a person I adore. I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and work together again." The film - which is described as a cross between 1995 thriller Heat and 2016 crime drama Hell or High Water - will be produced by Chernin Entertainment and is based on a story by Jaimie Oliveira, who is also adapting the screenplay. Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein of Paramount Pictures said in a statement: "We're thrilled to be in business with visionary artists like James and Timothee, and exceptional collaborators [producers Peter Chernin and David Ready] at Chernin. "What Jaime has created reflects the kind of bold, original storytelling we're committed to championing at Paramount – and we couldn't be more excited to hit the ground running with High Side'." Mangold is also working on an adaptation of Swamp Thing for DC Studios as well as a Star Wars prequel Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi, which he's slated to co-write as well as direct. The moviemaker previously insisted he wants the new Star Wars movie to be as "original" as possible. He told Movieweb: "The Star Wars movie would be taking place 25,000 years before any known Star Wars movies takes place. "It's an area and a playground that I've always [wanted to explore] and that I was inspired by as a teenager. I'm not that interested in being handcuffed by so much lore at this point that it's almost immovable, and you can't please anybody." He added of his movie projects: "Success is never guaranteed, but the reality is that the way to get most people to agree is to move them; to somehow find the humanity in a situation. "Whether it's a mega-franchise or a smaller dramatic movie, whatever they are, usually the movies you remember are the ones that move you. "The ones that leave you cold, even if they're clever, even if they're spectacular, even if they're dazzling, somehow just become replaced by the next dazzling object a year later. "It's the feelings, it's 'the feels', right? That truly defines how we feel about these movies and whether we care to visit them again."

President Trump deems Taylor Swift 'NO LONGER HOT' - again - in lengthy social media post
President Trump took to his Truth Social platform Monday morning to share his thoughts on "Anyone But You" actress Sydney Sweeney after it was revealed this weekend that she is a registered Republican — and Taylor Swift has been caught in the crossfire. "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there," Trump's post began. "It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!," he wrote, referring to the actress's jean ad campaign that caused the "Euphoria" star major backlash last week. POTUS goes on about various "woke" advertisements before bringing the 14-time Grammy winner into the fray. "Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!)," the "Apprentice" alum added. "She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT." After Swift, 35, was viciously booed at the Super Bowl in February, Trump wrote on Truth Social that night, 'The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving.' Trump has been outspoken about his aforementioned "HATE!" for the Grammy winner since September when she endorsed his foe Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Monday's musings mark the second time the president has declared Swift "no longer 'HOT.'" "Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'" he wrote wrote on Truth Social in May. Just a few months earlier, the reality star-turned-Republican politician had said Swift has "a great star quality." 'I think she's beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she's liberal. She probably doesn't like Trump. I hear she's very talented. I think she's very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!,' he said in a June 2024 interview.
