  • Paranormal Activity 2 - What Did You Think?

    Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity (2007) was one of the most financially profitable films of all time, costing only $15,000, yet taking in over $190 million worldwide. Its runaway success conjured up memories of The Blair Witch Project, which was somewhat similar in subject matter, style, and return-on-investment. Thus, when the inevitable sequel was announced, I…

  • Early Buzz: Paranormal Activity 2

    I'll admit it, I didn't expect Paranormal Activity 2 to be any good. The sequel was rushed into production to be released in theaters a year after the original (ala Saw).

And yet Paramount's sequel to the low-fi horror hit will now hit the nation's largest screens. Here's a statement from IMAX about the release: "Paramount has delivered another…

  • Movie Trailer: 'Paranormal Activity 2'

    In June we saw the first teaser for Paranormal Activity 2, which opens on October 22. But that mostly traded on the cache of the first film, which did shockingly well for Paramount. (Thanks in part to a very smart marketing campaign.) Now there's a full trailer for the sequel, which introduces the new family…

So: Tod 'Kip' Williams (The Door in the Floor) will direct Paranormal Activity 2. The hire was announced on the film's…

    UPDATE: Deadline says that Goldsman is onboard as executive producer, not director. The site says he's helping shape the story in advance of the May shoot date. Original article follows.

  • Who Will Direct Paranormal Activity 2? Here Are Paramount's Picks

    The quick-turnaround required to get another Paranormal Activity into cinemas this Halloween, and possibly kill the Saw franchise once and for all, will mean that Paramount will have to get production up and running very soon indeed.

  • Saw VI Director To Helm Paranormal Activity 2

    With Paranormal Activity, the comparisons to The Blair Witch Project films just keep on coming. Like Blair Witch, 2009's Little Film That Could was made on a shoestring budget and cleverly marketed into mega-success. Now, Paramount has hired a writer and director for the film currently called Paranormal Activity 2. Just as when Artisan made…
