Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner to star in One Night Only
Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner are 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."

Do These Jeans Make My Ad Look Racist?
Have you heard the rumor that the clothing company American Eagle is using racist propaganda to sell clothing? That's the allegation that bubbled up on social media in response to the company's new ad campaign featuring the actress Sydney Sweeney and a pun. Sweeney, best known for her roles on the television shows 'Euphoria' and 'The White Lotus' and the film 'Anyone but You,' has been featured in advertising campaigns for products ranging from expensive Korean cosmetics to Baskin-Robbins ice cream, but it's the American Eagle ads that really caught some people's eye. In one spot, the camera slowly pans over her supine body as she zips up her fly and explains, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring.' Turning to the camera, she adds, 'My jeans are blue.' In another ad, she walks up to a billboard that says 'Sydney Sweeny has great genes.' A moment later, the last word has been crossed out and replaced with 'jeans.' The message of the ads seems to be that Sweeney has good genes because she's attractive. Beneath that, perhaps, is the hint that people can get a bit of her good fortune by buying her jeans. But a number of observers heard something more upsetting: A young, attractive, blond woman talking about genes — especially 'great' ones — and offspring sounded to them like a dog whistle about eugenics. One social media post called it 'genuinely scary.' Another opined: 'The American Eagles ad wasn't just a commercial. It was a love letter to white nationalism and eugenic fantasies, and Sydney Sweeney knew it.' 'Praising Sydney Sweeney for her great genes in the context of her white, blonde hair blue eye appearance,' a commentator said on TikTok. 'It is one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while. When those traits are consistently uplifted as genetic excellence, we know where this leads. This just echoes pseudoscientific language of racial superiority.' As for good (or great) genes, Robin Landa, an expert on advertising and branding, told Newsweek that the expression 'was once central to American eugenics ideology, which promoted white genetic superiority and enabled the forced sterilization of marginalized groups.'
