The world of cinema is abuzz with a significant shift in release dates! A highly anticipated film from the acclaimed duo, The Daniels, has secured a new spot on the silver screen. But here's the twist: it's a replacement for another eagerly awaited project.
Originally, the legendary Steven Spielberg's event film was set to captivate audiences on May 15, 2026. However, plans changed, and the spotlight now shines on The Daniels' mysterious creation, scheduled for June 12, 2026. This date was initially earmarked for the Oscar-winning team behind 'Everything Everywhere All At Once', but they've opted for more time to perfect their next masterpiece.
Universal Pictures, who collaborated with The Daniels before their Academy Award success, has graciously accommodated their request. The studio has rescheduled the release of The Daniels' film from June 12, 2026, to November 19, 2027, marking the first project in their deal with the duo. And this is where it gets intriguing: the film will hit theaters just before the Oscars, potentially sparking award season buzz.
The Daniels, known for their unique approach, shared their thoughts. Kwan mentioned their penchant for challenging endeavors, while Scheinert highlighted the importance of budgetary constraints in fostering meaningful discussions. And this is the part most people miss—the duo's commitment to their craft and the industry's anticipation of their next move.
Amidst their newfound fame, The Daniels directed an episode of 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew', reassuring fans they hadn't 'sold out'. Kwan clarified they were guest directors for a single episode and expressed enthusiasm for the project. He also confirmed their upcoming film would be an original Daniels project, easing fans' concerns.
In other exciting news, The Daniels will produce Paul Dano's next comedy feature, with details shrouded in secrecy. Dano will write and direct, while The Daniels produce through their Playgrounds banner, alongside Jonathan Wang.
The Daniels' journey is a testament to the power of creativity and the ever-evolving nature of the film industry. What do you think about this release date shuffle? Are you eager to see The Daniels' new film, or do you think the wait will be worth it? Share your thoughts below!
