Brief
Curry Barker’s ‘Anything but Ghosts’ set for May 7, 2027 release

By Felo News Desk · Published
Focus Features has slated the release of Curry Barker’s follow‑up to the hit film Obsession for May 7, 2027.
What happened
The studio announced the date this week, confirming that Barker will direct and co‑write the movie with longtime collaborator Cooper Tomlinson.
What the reports add
Gizmodo notes that the story follows two “wannabe ghost hunters” who become entangled in a dangerous situation, blending horror with comedy. The article also lists the cast: Violet McGraw, Bryce Dallas Howard and Aaron Paul.
What was said
“I think it’s going to be really unique because it, to me, lives in the same world [as Obsession],” Barker told Gizmodo. “The tone isn’t going to be a crazy shift, but it’s very different… it’s a lot funnier.”
How it came about
After completing filming of his new movie Anything but Ghosts, Barker’s earlier success with Obsession attracted Focus Features, which secured the rights before the original film’s summer breakout. The upcoming release is positioned to open the summer 2027 slate, a week after Sony’s The Legend of Zelda.
