‘Paranormal Activity 5’ Will Now Open In January…
BREAKING: Paranormal Activity 5 has officially moved out of its October 25, 2013 slot and into January 3, 2014.
After yesterday’s speculation that Paramount Pictures may shift the next Paranormal to January, it officially happened Wednesday afternoon. It hopes to perform on the same level as last year’s The Devil Inside, which cracked $100M worldwide (that opened on Jan. 6).
There are a lot of questions that remain, and extreme lack of clarity behind the scenes; it has all of us scrambling to get something solid.
Here’s what we know…
There have been test screenings of the Christopher Landon-directed Latino spin-off to Paranormal Activity. Allegedly, it’s going well. Bloody Disgusting exclusively reported that the title of the film is OT: Oxnard Tapes. There’s talk behind the scenes of turning OT into Paranormal Activity 5.
With that said, Bloody Disgusting knows who Blumhouse wants to direct PA5, but as of this writing isn’t a lock. Our sources tell us there’s still nothing shot, so with the date shift, it allows both the studio and producers time to breathe, and figure out the next move.
Clearly, they want what’s best for the film and the franchise, which is why this move is a genuinely good one. I’d rather they take their time and make something as awesome as Paranormal Activity 3, instead of the stale, lame duck PA4 was.
Hopefully some clarity will come out in the next few weeks. We’ll report back.
Countless different types of Count Dracula stories have been told on the screen over the years, from Bela Lugosi’s black & white icon to Nicolas Cage’s scenery chewing take in Renfield.
The origin story of the Dracula character has also been told, most notably in Gary Shore’s 2014 movie Dracula Untold. And THR reports this week that it’s about to be told again.
Caleb Landry Jones (Antiviral) will star in an untitled Dracula origin story for director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element), which is said to be a “big budgeted film.”
The Hollywood Reporter previews that the movie will be a “retelling of Bram Stoker’s classic Gothic tale with Landry-Jones set to play the Transylvania Count-turned-vampire.”
The site also notes, “Besson’s take will focus on the beginning of Dracula’s life and his relationship with wife.”
Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) is also in talks to star.
The Dracula character was most recently seen in last year’s The Last Voyage of the Demeter, a period piece horror movie that scared its way to just $21 million at the box office.
