The Daniels Set Summer Shoot for Next Film: “Fun Action Sci-Fi Comedy” Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the filmmaking duo behind the critically acclaimed “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” have confirmed their next project is set to begin production this summer. Universal Pictures has tentatively scheduled the untitled film for release on November 19, 2027, the Friday before Thanksgiving. The announcement comes after years of secrecy surrounding the project, which had initially been slated for June 12, 2026, but was quietly removed from Universal’s schedule last year. Kwan shared details with Collider, revealing the film will be a “sci-fi action comedy” with a “big heart” and existential themes. He emphasized the film’s goal is to reflect the complexities of the modern world, stating, “We are trying to do what we have always done, which is listen very deeply to what is happening in the world and try to internalize that and make something really fun and entertaining that kind of reflects that story back to the world.” He also acknowledged the challenges of adapting to a rapidly changing world, noting, “The only thing you need to know is we are trying to do what we have always done… it takes time.” The project’s delayed timeline and evolving script have fueled speculation about creative overhauls. Kwan confirmed the script may have been revised to align with current global dynamics, though he stressed the core intent remains the same: to create a film that is both entertaining and reflective of the world’s complexities. The Daniels’ next film will arrive more than five years after “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” which became a cultural phenomenon despite the challenges of the pandemic era.#collider #universal_pictures #daniel_kwan #daniel_scheinert #everything_everywhere_all_at_once
