Sources tell Deadline, Dano is set to write and in talks to direct a new untitled comedy for Universal Pictures with Kwan, Scheinert and their partner Jonathan Wang producing through their Playgrounds banner. Dano was already an established actor at the time but the film helped launch the Daniels career leading to their Oscar-winning hit Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, which swept the Oscars including best director, writing and Picture wins for the group. Since that film, Dano has continued to be busy on the acting front, starring in the Showtime limited series Escape from Dannemora with Benicio Del Toro and Patricia Arquette and directed by Ben Stiller, which earned him an Emmy nomination.
