After the blockbuster success of his debut feature “Obsession,” Curry Barker‘s next film, an original horror concept, is set up with Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Film Group.
Barker will write, direct and produce his third feature which comes to Universal Film through the filmmaker’s relationship with Blumhouse Atomic Monster, Roy Lee and Steven Schneider’s Spooky Pictures and Adam Hendricks and Greg Gilreath’s Divide/Conquer. It’s based on an original idea from a pitch from Barker, and plot details are under wraps.
Barker’s second film, “Anything But Ghosts,” is currently in post-production for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Focus Features, which released “Obsession.”
Said Barker, “This film is something I’ve been excited to make for a while, and I’m thrilled to be reteaming with Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal Film Group for it. They’ve built the kind of home for bold, original storytelling that every filmmaker dreams of, and I couldn’t imagine better collaborators for this film.”
“Curry Barker has an exceptional ability to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, pairing an innate instinct for what resonates with audiences with extraordinary filmmaking prowess,” said NBCUniversal Entertainment Chairman Donna Langley. “Barker’s talent is redefining what’s possible and we’re thrilled to continue our partnership with him.”
