Bryce Dallas Howard has joined the cast of Curry Barker's upcoming supernatural horror film, "Anything But Ghosts," as announced by Deadline. The news, initially shared by the publication, confirms Howard's role alongside previously announced cast members Aaron Paul, Cooper Tomlinson, and Barker himself. The film, which recently wrapped production, is set to be distributed by Focus Features.
Curry Barker, who also co-wrote the script with Cooper Tomlinson, is rapidly becoming a prominent name in the horror genre. His latest film, "Obsession," is slated for release on May 15, and he is also tapped to direct a new installment of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" for A24. This project further solidifies Barker's burgeoning career, attracting significant industry attention.
"Anything But Ghosts" marks a notable collaboration between powerhouse horror producers Jason Blum of Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Roy Lee of Spooky Pictures, their first joint venture. Additional production support comes from Steven Schneider, Adam Hendricks, and Greg Gilreath of Divide/Conquer, with backing from Image Nation and Barker and Tomlinson's own banner, That's a Bad Idea.
While specific plot details for "Anything But Ghosts" remain largely undisclosed, early reports suggest a narrative centered on "con artists posing as ghost hunters." Howard's involvement adds considerable weight to the project, given her extensive acting career, including roles in the "Jurassic World" trilogy and "Rocketman," as well as her acclaimed work as a director on series such as "The Mandalorian" and "Ahsoka." The film is expected to leverage the combined talents of its cast and acclaimed production teams to deliver a compelling new entry in the supernatural horror landscape.
