The ‘Insidious Chapter 2′ Trailer Is Right In Front Of You!!! More Images!

That headline will make sense once you watch this trailer for James Wan’s highly anticipated Insidious Chapter 2. Personally? I like this teaser. It certainly looks “bigger” than Insidious. Last night at a trailer Q&A Wan mentioned that this film is almost in a different genre than the first, where the subtext here is domestic drama rather than a haunted house. I’m happy so much of this takes place in the “real” world, I was beginning to think we were going to get a movie that was 100% “further.” There were quite a few jump scares last night in the group I saw the trailer with – see if you can spot them.

Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Ty Simpkins, Barbara Hershey, Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson, Andrew Astor, Jocelin Donahue, Danielle Bisutti, and Lindsay Seim all star in the hot sequel directed once again by Saw‘s James Wan.

Jason Blum Promises Answers In ‘Insidious Chapter 2′!

James Wan’s Insidious: Chapter 2 hits theaters via FilmDistrict on Friday, September 13th (Wan’s other summer effort, The Conjuring hits two months earlier on July 19th).

BD Stringer Erik Myers was onhand at the Stanley Film Festival in Estes Park, Colorado this past weekend and he caught up with producer Jason Blum to talk about the sequel. While they didn’t have a lot of time to chat, Blum remarked, “I saw it last week. There’s a rough cut of it, very cool. I think it does what a sequel should do. It brings back enough of the first movie so it doesn’t feel like a totally new thing, but there’s a ton of different stuff in it. And a lot of the mythology from the first movie… you’re going to get a lot of answers in the second movie. I’m looking forward to people seeing it.

Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Ty Simpkins, Barbara Hershey, Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson, Andrew Astor, Jocelin Donahue and Danielle Bisutti all star in the sequel.

I recently spent some time on the set of the film and can’t wait to report what I saw with you. Myers also has some coverage from The Purge at the fest that we’ll be posting over the next few days.

Teaser Posters For ‘R.I.P.D.,’ ‘Oldboy’ and ‘Insidious Chapter 2′

Out of the CinemaCon starting tomorrow in Las Vegas comes teaser logo posters for a trio of upcoming genre films.

The Insidious Chapter 2 looks like the film’s first logo, only with the letter “S” forming a “2″. In theaters September 13, Oscar-nominated Barbara Hershey will play the role of Lorraine Lambert, the mother to Patrick Wilson’s Josh Lambert and the grandmother to the demon-possessed boy Dalton. Directed by James Wan, who was recently attached to the next Fast & Furious installment, the pic also stars Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Ty Simpkins, Leigh Whannell, Angus Sampson, Andrew Astor, Jocelin Donahue, and Danielle Bisutti.

I quite enjoy FilmDistrict’s Oldboy tease, which scratches out the number of days before the protag. is released from prison. In theaters October 11, the film stars Josh Bolin as an advertising executive who is kidnapped and imprisoned for 20 years without explanation. He is abruptly released and sets out to discover the who and why of his captivity, running across a social worker (Elizabeth Olsen) and an illusive man (Sharlto Copley) who allegedly holds the key to his salvation. The film also stars Samuel L. Jackson and James Ransone.

Just added is also a look at the poster for Uni’s R.I.P.D., Robert Schwentke’s troubles comic adaptation in theaters July 19. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, Stephanie Szostak and Mary-Louise Parker, it follows a recently slain cop joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest in Peace Department and tries to find the man who murdered him.
