Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Director Curry Barker had already finished filming his new movie, Anything but Ghosts, when the world became obsessed with Obsession. Focus Features saw the potential in the filmmaker and snagged the rights well before Barker and his team became the success stories of last summer. And now, we know they’ll be back to scare us again this summer. This week, Focus set May 7, 2027, as the release date for Anything but Ghosts. Curry directs the film, from a script he co-wrote with long-time friend and collaborator Cooper Tomlinson. The pair also star as “wannabe ghost hunters who find themselves in over their heads as things spiral wildly and terrifyingly out of control.” Megan’s Violet McGraw co-stars along with Bryce Dallas Howard and Aaron Paul.
