Los Angeles [US], June 19 (ANI): Filmmaker Curry Barker is set to reunite with Universal Film Group and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster for a new horror feature, marking his third collaboration with the studios, as reported by Deadline.
Barker will write, direct and produce the upcoming project, which is based on an original idea developed by the filmmaker. Plot details are currently being kept under wraps.
The new feature follows Barker's breakout horror success 'Obsession', which emerged as a major box office hit with earnings of USD 297 million worldwide, and his upcoming supernatural thriller 'Anything But Ghosts', as per the outlet.
'Anything But Ghosts', which Barker also wrote, directed and stars in, features Aaron Paul, Bryce Dallas Howard and Violet McGraw in key roles.
Expressing his excitement about the latest collaboration, Barker said he was eager to return to work with the studios behind his previous projects.

He also praised the studios for their support of original storytelling.
'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,' he added.
NBCUniversal Entertainment Chairman Donna Langley lauded Barker's creative instincts and growing influence in the horror genre.
She said Barker possesses an 'exceptional ability to tap into the cultural zeitgeist, pairing an innate instinct for what resonates with audiences with extraordinary filmmaking prowess,' according to Deadline.
Langley added, 'Barker's talent is redefining what's possible, and we're thrilled to continue our partnership with him.'
