Barry Jenkins Reflects on Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Casting Aaron Pierre (Mufasa)

[@SeparateWay]

Barry Jenkins reflects on his personal cinematic stories on the human condition... and a Disney paycheck.

[@waynedexter]

Is the Disney paycheck a good or bad thing?

[@BobbyM817]

God forbid he do a big studio movie 🙄

[@SeekingFilm]

@@BobbyM817 Yes... god forbid.

[@Zecamilleo]

​@@BobbyM817
Yeah, because there is a lot of soulful and personal work being made by authors in big studios

[@dragonninjaghostgirl7981]

If there ever a Live action lion king 2 Simba’s pride, I want Barry Jenkins to be in charge.

[@olaedo777]

Good job Mr Barry

[@movielover7565]

Mufasa is such a good film.

[@Zecamilleo]

It enormously depresses me that barry Jenkins made a Disney movie.

[@Dklawhorn]

I won’t stand for this Medicine for Melancholy erasure. 😢

[@PaulAdler11]

I am still in disbelief that someone who directed one of the best films ever made could then create such a sad cgi dumpster fire of a movie

[@toxic1strike167]

He got the Disney paycheck and honestly, who can blame him? He’ll now have more money and a larger platform to make a true Barry Jenkins film

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

I’d wanna ask him if HE thinks Mufasa is up to snuff with his last 2 movies. 😄
