The ‘Paranormal Activity 2’ Teaser Trailer is LIVE, NOW!
Paramount Pictures has been quietly filming Paranormal Activity 2 – their super top secret sequel to Oren Peli’s smash hit from last October – right under all of our noses. In fact, it’s been so hush-hush that we weren’t even sure they were going to make the October 22 date until tonight. How do we know? Below you’ll find the official teaser trailer that premiered tonight on the film’s official website. Yup, Katie Featherston returns! Get ready for battle as on October 22 the Kip Williams (Tod Williams) directed sequel opens against Lionsgate’s Saw 3D. As for the lack of information surrounding the film, I personally love it. I’m as enthralled with the mystery as I am with J.J. Abrams’ Super 8. I wish more often than not studios would show less — becomes sometimes, less is more.
Trailer from the film’s newly launched official website:
Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
