Jason Blum Says ‘Insidious’ and ‘Sinister’ Could Potentially Crossover
Maybe. Potentially. Possibly.
Blumhouse has a whole lot of homegrown horror icons under their belt at this point, and the crossover potential for some of their franchises is endless. But could we ever see villains like the child-eating Bughuul and the red-faced “Lipstick Demon” unite to terrify us up on the big screen? As it turns out, Jason Blum has considered such a thing.
Speaking with CinePop, Blum talked a potential Insidious/Sinister crossover.
“We almost did Insidious and Sinister… and I still feel like we might do that,” Blum told the site. “So I think so. I think we’re gonna cross our worlds at some point. I don’t know how yet. But we’re gonna try.”
Blum also talked about the future of the Insidious franchise, noting that if The Last Key was to do well at the box office (which it did), a fifth film was a guarantee.
“There’s no plans right now. But if the movie is successful, we’ll definitely make another one,” said Blum. “I don’t know what it will be about yet, but I’d love to make another installment. The most we got to was Paranormal [Activity]. We had six [films]. So maybe we’ll try and beat it with Insidious. Maybe we’ll do seven.”
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
