Barbarian Interview: Justin Long Teases the Conversation the Film Is Bound to Spark

We’ve got an upcoming horror film that could make a good deal of noise when it hits theaters on September 9th. There was an early screening of Barbarian at San Diego Comic-Con and the crowd was very vocal, to say the least! The movie puts the focus on a young woman (Georgina Campbell) who travels to Detroit for a job interview. When she arrives at the house she’s renting late at night, she discovers the location has been double booked. With no other option, she agrees to spend the night there with the other renter, a complete stranger played by Bill Skarsgård.  That right there is only scratching the surface of where writer-director Zach Cregger takes things in this film. In fact, we haven’t even touched on Justin Long’s involvement. In an effort to avoid spoilers, we won’t share character specifics, but the role challenges Long to tap into an especially disturbing headspace while playing AJ. Check out what Long had to say about that in this Barbarian interview! #j
