Get ready for a thrilling cinematic journey! The highly anticipated sequel to the Oscar-winning masterpiece, Everything Everywhere All at Once, is back on the Universal calendar, and it's set to be a game-changer. The untitled masterpiece is scheduled to grace our screens on November 19, 2027, and it promises to be an epic adventure.
But here's where it gets intriguing: this feature film, initially slated for June 2026, had briefly disappeared from the calendar in February. Now, it's back with a bang, marking the first Universal project for the talented duo, Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert).
The pair, who signed a long-term deal with Universal in the summer of 2022, have since become Hollywood's hottest directors. Their previous film, Everything Everywhere All at Once, swept the Oscars, winning Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, and it grossed an impressive $100 million on a mere $15 million budget. Talk about a blockbuster success!
Since their Oscar triumph, Daniels has been busy directing the Star Wars TV series, The Skeleton Crew. In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, they opened up about their journey from the indie scene to the big-budget studio world.
Kwan shared, "We love the thrill of the chase, even if it's a risky move." Scheinert added, "We thrive on challenges, and being told 'no' keeps us on our toes." However, he expressed some nerves about having a larger budget, fearing it might remove the need for those tough creative conversations.
So, are you excited for this upcoming release? What do you think about Daniels' approach to filmmaking? Do you agree that taking risks is essential for artistic growth, or do you think it's a recipe for disaster? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
