The New ‘Paranormal Exercise’ Could Have Already Discovered Its Director

On the prime of December, Paramount revealed it was doing one other Paranormal Activity flick with James Wan available as producer, and now they could’ve landed a director for the gig.

Per the Hollywood Reporter, Canadian filmmaker Ian Tuason is in last negotiations to reboot the found footage horror series. If you happen to 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 characteristic movie Undertone. That movie premiered at a Canadian movie competition earlier this yr and was so common it launched a bidding warfare that 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 films that scare him behind The Blair Witch Challenge and the unique Exorcist. There’s some further overlap between Paranormal and Undertone in that he’s referred to as the latter “discovered audio” reasonably than a discovered footage film, owing to its central storytelling gimmick of audio recordsdata a couple of 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.
