‘The Void’ Probably Isn’t Getting a Sequel But the Directors Do Have “All Sorts of Ideas”
One of the favorite movies of hardcore horror fans back in 2016 was Steven Kostanski and Jeremy Gillespie‘s The Void, which was essentially Hellraiser meets The Thing. Loaded with insane practical effects, it was a big hit with gore-hounds in particular, many of whom have been begging the duo for a sequel. And they do want to make one, though it may never happen.
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Kostanski talked the potential for The Void 2.
“Well, Jer and I have all sorts of ideas on what we could do with The Void, but it’s totally tethered to the producers and what they want to do. So, I feel like, at this time, the movie’s going to just enjoy its life as a one-off thing,” he told the site. “I mean, anything is possible in the future, but I think, for now, we’re just going to leave it at that. As the one film.”
In The Void…
Shortly after delivering a patient to an understaffed hospital, a police officer experiences strange and violent occurrences seemingly linked to a group of mysterious hooded figures.
Kostanski’s Leprechaun Returns is now available for digital rental.
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
