See Derek Mears as a Zombie in ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ Trailer!
I really, really, really hated the previous two Pirates of the Caribbean films, but I loved the first so much that it’s hard not to be excited for a fourth — especially with the promise of zombies. Speaking of the undead, Yahoo! premiered the trailer today for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides that carries said promised zombies, one of which you might be quite familiar with: Derek Mears. Best know in the horror community as the newest Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th, Mears gets the living dead spotlight in the below trailer as a character named “Master At Arms”. Zombies, mermaids and pirates? I’ll take to these seas on May 20th.
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
