One more piece of news from this afternoons interviews for Universal Pictures’ The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. When we saw the film this past weekend there was one thing of note, Luke Ford was the centerpiece of the film, while Brendan Fraser appeared to be more of a footnote. When asked about future films, Luke Ford told SpookyDan that he has signed on for a total of three films, leading us to believe he is being primed as the new leading O’Connell in the MUMMY franchise. I guess we’ll be reporting more if the film is a box office success August 1st weekend.

“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.
