A Haunted House 2
The sequel to A Haunted House.
The Countdown Begins! Only 10 Months Until ‘A Haunted House 2′!
Marlon Wayans’ A Haunted House, which spoofed Paranormal Activity and The Devil Inside, made $40 Million at the US Box Office and seems to be doing fairly well on home video. So, needless to say, Open Road’s A Haunted House 2 is still right on track. In fact, they now have a release date. March 28, 2014. I didn’t care for the first film, so here’s hoping for some improvement.
We don’t know much about the sequel yet, but I spoke with Wayans last week and he confirmed what Essence Atkins will indeed be returning, seeing as she’s this franchise’s “Katie.”
A Haunted House 2 will be financed and produced by IM Global’s genre label Octane and will shoot this summer. READ MORE
An Open Road Paved For ‘A Haunted House 2′
Marlon Wayans’ A Haunted House, which spoofed Paranormal Activity and The Devil Inside, made $40 Million at the US Box Office and hits home video on April 23rd. I would assume the production budget on these films is fairly low, since Variety is reporting that Open Road Films has acquired U.S. distribution rights to A Haunted House 2.
Of course Wayans will be starring again, and he’s co-writing the script as well. No word on which (if any) of the original’s cast will be returning.
The film will be financed and produced by IM Global’s genre label Octane. A Haunted House 2 will shoot this summer and be released in the winter, one would think in the January slot occupied by the first installment.
‘Machete Kills’ Finally Gets A Release Date!

In addition to Danny Trejo the film stars Lady Gaga, Vanessa Hudgens, Michelle Rodriguez, Mel Gibson, Jessica Alba, Demian Bichir, Amber Heard, Sofia Vergara, Zoe Saldana, William Sadler, Edward James Olmos, Charlie Sheen, Elise Avellan, Electra Avellan and Alexa Vega.
The sequel finds the titular ex-federale (Trejo) recruited by the U.S. government to stop a terrorist named Mendez the Madman, who happens to be Mexico’s leading cartel dealer. Gibson is set to co-star as Luther Voz, a cunning arms dealer and death merchant who aims to spread war across the planet by launching a nuclear missile. Heard will play a manipulative assassin code-named Miss San Antonio. Pic co-stars Demian Bichir and Charlie Sheen as the U.S. president. The first film was based on Rodriguez’ faux trailer included in Dimension Films’ 2007 Grindhouse.
If you just recently got pregnant, you might have to wait for DVD.
