Untitled Event Film Directed By Daniels is finally coming June 2026

Today in news that will be infinitely more interesting when there’s more information, The Daniels, the Oscar-winning writers/directors of Everything Everywhere All At Once, have announced their follow-up. Per Variety, Untitled Event Film Directed By Daniels will crash or drive or slide or dance or whatever because we know literally nothing about this movie (not even the title) into theaters on June 16, 2026. It is the first announcement since Daniels, Kwan and Scheinert, signed their first-look deal with Universal. Given that the pair is known for a Lil Jon video, the Daniel Radcliffe farting corpse movie, and EEAAO, arguably a thousand movies in one, it’s fair to assume that no one will likely guess what the Daniels have in store. Nevertheless, we’ll have to wait two years to find out.

The Daniels rose to prominence throughout the 2010s, riding high on their daring and influential music videos and the modest commercial success of the aforementioned farting corpse movie. Yet, it all pales in comparison to Everything Everywhere All At Once, which completed its Oscar sweep last year, becoming the first seven-time Oscar winner to prominently feature a butt plug.

This is the second announced project for the Daniels since EEAAO’s success. Some probably remember when the Daniels were briefly canceled last March after it was reported that the pair directed an episode of the Star Wars series The Skeleton Crew. While many assumed that two of the most idiosyncratic yet commercially viable directors in Hollywood were being vacuumed into the Disney machine, never to be heard from again, it was all a big misunderstanding. You see, they needed health insurance.

“Lol, all of the people @ing us about getting sucked up by the ‘corporate machine’ can chill. These headlines are always misleading,” Daniel Kwan wrote on Instagram.

“Don’t worry. We aren’t working on a whole series; we guest-directed one episode,” Kwan continued. “Jon Watts approached us to do an episode a while ago (before EEAAO even came out). We love Jon, love Star Wars, love learning new tech, we love meeting new cast and crew, and we needed the days to keep our healthcare (!!!) so it was an easy yes.”

Who among us hasn’t taken a job directing a Star War simply because they needed a root canal?
