Aaron Paul to Star in Curry Barker’s ‘Anything But Ghosts’ as Production Wraps

The move signals major studio backing for Barker’s rapid jump from festival buzz to mainstream horror.

Overview

  • The project, disclosed Thursday, features three-time Emmy winner Aaron Paul and has just wrapped filming in Vancouver.
  • Focus Features has boarded the film, with Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, Spooky Pictures, and Divide/Conquer producing in association with Image Nation and That’s a Bad Idea.
  • Curry Barker directs from a script he co-wrote with longtime partner Cooper Tomlinson, and both also appear in the film.
  • Story details remain under wraps, a common tactic for commercial horror meant to build curiosity and preserve scares.
  • The announcement arrives as Focus readies Barker’s festival breakout Obsession for a May 15 release and as A24 taps him to write and direct a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
