On the prime of December, Paramount revealed it was doing one other Paranormal Exercise flick with James Wan readily available as producer, and now they could’ve landed a director for the gig.
Per the Hollywood Reporter, Canadian filmmaker Ian Tuason is in ultimate negotiations to reboot the discovered footage horror collection. For those who haven’t heard of him earlier than, that’s the purpose; he gained reputation making VR horror shorts on-line earlier than tackling his first function movie Undertone. That movie premiered at a Canadian movie pageant earlier this 12 months and was so widespread it launched a bidding conflict which will see it get launched by A24.
Ought to Tuason be signed on, it’ll convey issues full circle for him, as he’s deemed the primary Paranormal Exercise one of many prime three motion pictures that scare him behind The Blair Witch Undertaking and the unique Exorcist. There’s some further overlap between Paranormal and Undertone in that he’s known as the latter “discovered audio” relatively than a discovered footage film, owing to its central storytelling gimmick of audio recordsdata a few couple being possessed, much like Paranormal’s recordings of a pair being haunted by a ghost in the home.
Whether or not directing duties go to Tuason or another person, we’ll have extra on this Paranormal Exercise reboot as information emerges.
