The History/Legend of ‘Paranormal Activity’
With Paramount Pictures’ Paranormal Activity (review) beginning its journey into theaters this Thursday at midnight, the story behind the low budget indie horror film has never really been told to the public. Where did it come from? How was it picked up by Paramount? How did Steven Spielberg’s experience watching the film affect the acquisition? We’re on the cusp of a new Blair Witch phenomenon and you guys are all part of it. If you head on over to the LA Times you’ll find a lengthy article about Oren Peli’s film, which is guaranteed to scare the sh*t out of most of you. Don’t forget to DEMAND IT in a theater near you.
The classic murder-mystery game Clue is headed back to screens both big and small, with Variety reporting this week that Sony is planning potential film and television adaptations.
Variety reports, “Hasbro Entertainment has closed a deal with Sony‘s TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for the film and TV rights for the beloved board game.”
“Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as ‘Clue,’” said Hasbro’s Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano. “Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”
Clue was created way back in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt, and the board game was of course notably turned into a feature film starring Tim Curry in 1985 and a mini-series in 2011.
Ryan Reynolds had more recently been attached to star in a remake for 20th Century Studios, while Fox Entertainment had been developing an animated series a few years back.
