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

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

Per the Hollywood Reporter, Canadian filmmaker Ian Tuason is in closing negotiations to reboot the found footage horror series. For those who haven’t heard of him earlier than, that’s the purpose; he gained recognition 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 widespread it launched a bidding battle that will see it get launched by A24.

Ought to Tuason be signed on, it’ll deliver issues full circle for him, as he’s deemed the primary Paranormal Exercise one of many high three films that scare him behind The Blair Witch Undertaking and the unique Exorcist. There’s some extra 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.
