Overview
- Early June reports confirmed that Chris Reinacher has joined the cast of Anything But Ghosts, expanding a lineup that already includes Curry Barker, Aaron Paul, Bryce Dallas Howard, Violet McGraw and Cooper Tomlinson.
- Curry Barker will direct, co‑write the script with Cooper Tomlinson, and star alongside Tomlinson as one of two con‑artist ghost hunters at the center of the horror‑comedy.
- Production is being led by Blumhouse–Atomic Monster and Focus Features with producers from Spooky Pictures, Divide/Conquer, Image Nation and That’s a Bad Idea, and the project is in pre‑production.
- Barker describes the film as following two fake ghost hunters who stage hauntings until they encounter a very real dangerous dark entity, and he confirmed an Easter‑egg link to the world of his prior film Obsession.
- The project reflects a wider industry trend of studios backing digital‑native creators after Obsession became Focus Features’ top domestic grosser with more than $111 million and an A‑ CinemaScore, a performance that studios see as proof of a built‑in theatrical audience.
