Curry Barker said he told Nathan Fielder he would like to work with him, after watching Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. Barker’s remarks, reported by Variety at the Time100 Next Gala, do not indicate that a joint project is in development.
Obsession director Curry Barker said he has told filmmaker Nathan Fielder he would like to work with him, after watching Fielder’s Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. Barker made the comments in an interview with Variety at the Time100 Next Gala at Pier59 Studios; he did not announce a project, and there is no indication that a collaboration is in development.
Asked by Variety what he thought of You Can See Everything, Barker praised the film and said he had not known much about Holmes’ story beforehand. He described the documentary as “freakin’ insane and awesome” and said he wished its three-hour runtime had been longer. His response was an expression of enthusiasm, not a formal review or an announcement about the documentary’s production.
Variety then asked whether Barker wanted to work with Fielder. Barker said he had already raised the idea directly: “I told him that”, he said, adding, “I said, ‘Hey!’ … I just put it out in the water.” The comment confirms Barker has floated the possibility to Fielder, but does not establish whether Fielder responded positively or whether the two have discussed a specific film.
The report identifies Barker as the director of Obsession and Fielder as the filmmaker behind You Can See Everything, described in the source report as a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes. No details were supplied about a potential format, subject, genre, financing, schedule, or other participants. A horror collaboration is raised by the original report as a possibility, not as a plan announced by either filmmaker.
A Collaboration Is Only an Idea
The remarks matter as a possible connection between two filmmakers whose recent work has drawn attention, but the news is limited to Barker expressing interest. For viewers, the distinction is important: there is no confirmed film to anticipate, no casting information, and no production commitment reported. Barker’s comments show that he has made the suggestion, while leaving the other side of any potential collaboration unknown.
The report’s appeal rests partly on the contrast between Barker’s horror work and Fielder’s documentary and comedy background. That contrast may prompt speculation about what they could make together, but such speculation should not be mistaken for evidence of a horror project. The source does not say Barker proposed a particular genre or that Fielder agreed to collaborate.
For now, the development is best understood as a filmmaker’s public expression of interest rather than an industry announcement. Any practical effect would depend on whether Fielder shares that interest and whether the two develop a project that can move beyond an informal pitch.

From Barker’s Horror to Fielder’s Documentary
Obsession is the film associated with Barker in the report, which credits Focus Features in its accompanying image caption. Fielder’s You Can See Everything is identified there as an Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Barker told Variety he went into the film knowing little about Holmes’ story, then praised its length and said he wanted more. The source provides no further production history or release details for either film, so broader claims about their performance or reception cannot be established from this report alone.
The timeline given is straightforward: Barker attended the Time100 Next Gala at Pier59 Studios, spoke with Variety, discussed Fielder’s film, and said he had told Fielder he wanted to work together. The original Dread Central article reported those remarks and speculated about what a partnership might produce. That speculation—including the possibility of a horror film—is the outlet’s reaction, not a confirmed statement from Barker about a project in development.
““I thought it was freakin’ insane and awesome.””
— Curry Barker, speaking to Variety
No Project or Agreement Reported
Whether Fielder is interested remains unclear. The report does not include a response from him or say that he and Barker have held substantive talks. It also does not identify a proposed story, genre, format, studio, producer, or release schedule. Nothing in the reported remarks confirms that a joint project exists or is being planned.
It is also unclear when the gala interview took place beyond its association with the Time100 Next event, and the source gives no follow-up from either filmmaker. The article’s suggestion that a collaboration might take the form of a horror film is speculation; Barker’s quoted comments only establish that he likes Fielder’s work and has floated the idea of working together.
Any Next Step Depends on Fielder
No next milestone has been announced. The immediate question is whether Fielder responds to Barker’s suggestion or whether the filmmakers discuss a concrete idea. Until either person confirms talks or a production announcement supplies details, the possibility remains informal. Readers should look for direct statements from Barker or Fielder, or a verified announcement naming a project and its status, rather than treating the expression of interest as confirmation.
