While endorsing Oculus and Creep at SXSW in Austin, Texas, producer Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions has offered updates on the progress of Paranormal Activity 5, The Purge: Anarchy, Sinister 2 and Insidious 3 during an interview with Shock Till You Drop.
On Paranormal Activity 5 and The Purge: Anarchy: “We’re excited to get [Paranormal Activity] 5 out. The Marked Ones did much better internationally than it did domestic. We’re still futzing a lot with 5. Toying around with that is always fun. I’m very excited about the sequel to The Purge. I see a cut of it next week and (director) James DeMonaco is really excited. I’m looking forward to extending the story, it’s such a great concept.”
On Sinister 2 and Insidious 3: “Sinister 2 is coming along great. The script is done. We’re hoping to shoot this summer. It’s got a great script. Cargill and Derrickson did a great job writing it. If you love the tone of the first film, you’ll love this. Plus it’s got a lot of new stuff in it. The script is also done [on Insidious 3]. We’re hoping to shoot that this summer too.”
Are you looking forward to these sequels or are you tired of the low-budget horror pumped out by Blumhouse Productions? Let us know your thoughts…
