- [Everything Everywhere All At Once] Indiewire: 'Swiss Army Man' Directors Passed on 'Deadpool 2' to Make a Sci-Fi Movie With Michelle Yeoh

Currently in pre-production, "Everything Everywhere All at Once" has been described as an "interdimensional action film" in earlier reports, with Michelle Yeoh attached to star. (Awkwafina is in talks for another role.) "It's not officially greenlit, but we're so close, and we're so bummed it took another three years to write it," Scheinert said. "It's about a 55-year-old Chinese woman trying to finish her taxes. It's kind of like if Dan Kwan's mom was in 'The Matrix.'"

- [Everything Everywhere All At Once] Director Daniel Scheinerts speaks about the film project with Michelle Yeoh

"It's another ambitious effects heavy dramedy about what if Dan Kwan's mom was the star of The Matrix?" Scheinerts said. "We've been writing the new movie for a couple years now and gearing up to, fingers crossed, make it very soon, hopefully shooting it this winter."

- Posted by Avatar2 producer Jon Landau:

"Kevin Buxbaum has worked as our Production Controller for a number of years. During that time, although always being very proud of what we were doing, I never saw Kevin get outwardly excited about anything... that was until he heard that Michelle Yeoh was going to be in the Avatar sequels. On Michelle's last day working, I saw Kevin ready to leave the lot for the day. I diverted him to set where Michelle greeted him with open arms. At the end of 10-minute plus chat she graciously posed for a picture with Kevin.
