Rumor Control: No ‘Paranormal Activity 3’ for Feig, Avary
Some unconfirmed rumors hit the web this evening that we’re quickly going to debunk before it gets (too) out of hand.
Doing some fact checking, Bloody Disgusting is told that Paul Feig (Bad Teacher) will NOT be directing Paranormal Activity 3, and Roger Avary (Silent Hill, Pulp Fiction) will NOT be writing the screenplay.
That was easy.
In addition, we already reported that Michael R. Perry would NOT be involved, as of this past January.
That’s a whole lotta “NOT”s.
The only FACT is that Paramount Pictures will release on October 21, 2011, and creator Oren Peli is (obviously) still producing alongside Room 101.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
