Yeah, very good. The blonde friend with all the questions in the trailer is a costar.
Barry is a dark comedy, but it's not so much about the comedy as the comedy just comes out in the narrative. Hader is a primo marksman hitman who happens upon a theatre class while escaping a hit gone wrong. He wants to leave the life of crime and be an actor after he has an epiphany in the class. And thus far it's him juggling trying to get out of 'the life' and shield his actor friends from it at the same time.
The blonde in the trailer is a fellow actor who he develops a crush on, and she has her own narrative about the depredations of trying to be a working/struggling young actor, and of course oblivious to his double life as they start to date.
