Get ready for an exciting cinematic adventure! The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed film 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' is officially back on track! But here's the twist: it's been pushed back to 2027, creating a buzz of anticipation and curiosity.
The filmmaking duo known as Daniels, who took home Oscars for their groundbreaking work, have secured a spot on Universal's calendar for their next feature. Originally scheduled for mid-2026, the film briefly disappeared from the lineup, only to reappear with a new release date of November 19, 2027. This marks a significant milestone as their first Universal project after signing a long-term agreement in 2022.
What makes this story intriguing is the timing. Just months after inking the deal, the Daniels skyrocketed to fame when 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' swept the Oscars, winning Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. The film's success was remarkable, earning over $100 million on a modest $15 million budget. And now, the directors are ready to take on a new challenge with a bigger budget and the backing of a major studio.
In a revealing interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Daniels shared their thoughts on transitioning from indie darlings to studio filmmakers. Daniel Kwan boldly stated, 'We love to chase things that could almost be a disaster.' His partner, Daniel Scheinert, added a nuanced perspective, 'We thrive on being told no, but in moderation.' Scheinert also expressed a concern many filmmakers face: the fear of losing the creative edge that comes from working with limited resources.
And this is where it gets controversial. With a larger budget, will the Daniels be able to maintain their unique voice and creative freedom? Or will they be constrained by the expectations of a major studio? Only time will tell as we eagerly await this highly anticipated release.
