Debutant Curry Barker has become the most sought-after director in Hollywood — without a single pitch.
The horror film "Obsession" has turned into one of the main box office events of the year: the film, with a budget of less than a million dollars, has already grossed over 75 million and became a rare case where the second weekend's earnings exceeded those of the first. Behind the camera is Curry Barker — a young director previously known only for short films on YouTube.The success did not go unnoticed: according to The Hollywood Reporter, one Hollywood studio offered the director ten million dollars for his next project — and this despite the fact that Barker has not yet presented the studio with a single idea. The offer was made in advance, without any pitch.Nevertheless, the director cannot immediately accept it: under the terms of a contract signed even before the premiere of "Obsession," the right of first negotiations for Barker’s next film belongs to Blumhouse. In addition, a third studio is also showing interest in the director — so he has a rich choice.
