Focus Features and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster have set a May 7, 2027 release date for Curry Barker's second directorial feature, 'Anything But Ghosts,' a horror-comedy co-written by Barker and starring Cooper Tomlinson, Violet McGraw, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Aaron Paul. The film reunites Barker and Tomlinson, who previously collaborated on the director's debut 'Obsession,' with the pair playing aspiring ghost hunters whose supernatural investigation spirals into unexpected chaos.

The project expands the fictional universe introduced in 'Obsession,' deepening the creative partnership between Barker and his leading actor. With the summer 2027 positioning, the studios are placing the genre-blending comedy-horror title alongside other major seasonal releases, capitalising on recent audience appetite for films that balance scares with comedic elements.
