Emily Blunt celebrates Barbenheimer: ‘We have to make this happen again’

“We were impressed and we continue to be. We didn’t expect it to last over time,” says the Oppenheimer actress.

Emily Blunt seems well aware of the rarity of the event. In fact, it encourages this type of “double-feature” program, composed of two films with eminently contrary nuances:

“We need to make this happen again. We have to do it because look at the benefits it has brought to cinema. Look what it did for people. It was a joyful celebration thanks to this diversity of films. Why should we oppose them? Go see both! I want this to happen again, more and more. It’s fantastic”.

During this interview, Emily Blunt also mentioned the release of The Fall Guywhere she shares the bill with Ryan “Ken” Gosling :

“The movie is going to come out in the summer, because it’s definitely a summer movie. It’s like a summer movie. It’s wild, twisted and incredibly beautiful. It’s romantic and…sexy. It is fabulous. I am so proud to act in this film.“
