Overview
- Barker told Variety that he told Nathan Fielder “hey” and “put it out in the water” about working together during the Time100 Next Gala Thursday night.
- He praised Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s You Can See Everything as “freakin’ insane and awesome” and said its three‑hour shape felt new to him.
- Coverage notes the outreach is publicly confirmed by Barker but not a committed project and cautions that mutual admiration does not guarantee a finished film.
- Barker is riding heightened industry influence after Obsession and has a new film, Anything But Ghosts, scheduled for release on May 7, 2027.
- Critics and outlets say both directors’ work is reshaping what draws Gen Z audiences to theaters and that any collaboration could extend the trend of mixing documentary and narrative forms.
