In a recent interview with The Boo Crew Podcast (via Bloody Disgusting), Lin Shaye, who is known for playing Elise Rainier in the Insidious franchise, has claimed that she is currently unsure on what’s next for the series.
Although the previous instalment, Insidious: The Last Key, was the most successful film in the franchise by grossing over $167 million worldwide, Shaye claims she is unaware if a fifth Insidious movie will be developed.
“I know [my character is] dead, okay. I’m finally, really dead, and only in the Further in whatever [sequel] they do. There was some talk at one point – [but] nothing’s been talked about further. I think Blumhouse is so busy right now with so many things.
“But I don’t know the answer,” she continues. “I know there’s been some talk of a possible [fifth Insidious], and I’ve heard talk about an outline, and it wouldn’t have Elise featured – I am seriously in the Further.”
“I know [co-creator] James Wan had thoughts about going back to the first Insidious and exploring that family,” she adds with a disclaimer that she has no idea if this is what they’d end up doing. “That would be fun, but I also don’t want to beat a horse – if it’s it, and people go, ‘Gee I wish there was another one,’ well, too bad,” she laughs.
