Curry Barker is opening up about his runaway hit movie, Obsession.
The box office smash, made for less than $1 million, is still setting new records left and right in its fifth weekend in theaters, and now the 26-year-old YouTuber-turned-director is opening up about whether it’s going to be submitted for awards season.
When asked whether Focus Features will be giving the movie an Oscar campaign by THR, Curry said: “There’s going to be an awards campaign.”
“I’m not sure exactly what that entails. I’m not trying to get my hopes up about it and stay focused on what I’m doing next,” he added.
He also addressed what it is he’d like to do next as he prepares to film his Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot: “The big conversation is: Do I want to do an IP movie? Or do I want to do my original? I have an idea for my original, but I have so many ideas for Chainsaw as well. I have a lot to weigh and that’s where the stress really comes from. I don’t know what to do next.”
Curry also teased a sequel idea: “I don’t want to go straight into Obsession 2. I have such a cool idea for it that I won’t say. I’m not saying it has to be five, six years from now. But I think people would be just as excited for it if it came a little down the road. It’s a whirlwind and I’m trying to figure it out.”
