Lin Shaye Talks ‘Insidious Chapter 3’!

Published

Last night I hit up the red carpet at the Eyegore Awards before heading into the event itself. For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Eyegores are the ceremony that rings in Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights. Right after talking to Bruce Campbell and Fede Alvarez I was able to snag Lin Shaye, who plays Elise in the Insidious franchise.

Since we had recently spoken about both Insidious Chapter 2 and the film’s maze at the event, I was able to dive right into Insidious Chapter 3. If you’ve seen the second film, you know that she’ll figure into the new installments in a very unique way.

As for HHN, the active dates are September 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, October 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24, 25, 26, 27, 31 and November 1, 2. Get tickets here.

Check out the quick interview below!

So now we get to talk about Insidious 3!

I’m so excited about it. Boy that was quick, wasn’t it? Like the next minute they announced it! I feel, and we all hope, that Elise has a lot of stories to tell inside of her. Leigh Whannell is going to be writing the third installment…

And maybe directing?

We don’t know, but if he did it would be awesome because nobody knows more about it than he does on that level. But I’m sure whoever they decide on [will be great]. And James Wan will have input in terms of his sensibility about the stories. I love all these people, all of them. James is a master and he’s just beginning to open up in that sense.

So will Elise be in The Further then? Will that world be expanded even more?

I have no idea. I saw Leigh the other night actually and he’s still throwing ideas around in his mind too. And if I have any thoughts, I’ll throw in my 2 cents when I have the opportunity. I know Leigh has a great story lurking inside of that big mind of his.

Exclusive ‘The First Omen’ Featurette Video Previews Connection to the Original Horror Classic

Published

The Omen

20th Century Studios’ The First Omen is a true prequel to The Omen, arriving almost fifty years after the Richard Donner-directed horror classic introduced Antichrist Damien Thorn and terrified audiences. The film’s legacy is front and center in an exclusive new featurette.

First released in 1976, The Omen stars Gregory Peck as affluent diplomat Robert Thorn. It begins on June 6, at 6 am in Rome, where Robert Thorn learns his newborn has died, and the Church convinces him to accept an orphaned infant in its place. Robert’s wife, Kathy (Lee Remick), is none the wiser.

As the child, Damien, turns five, it coincides with a wave of strange happenings and coincidences that leads Robert down a harrowing journey where he’ll discover his adoptive son may be the Antichrist.

Written by David SeltzerThe Omen was a massive commercial success upon release in theaters. Donner injected plenty of dread and shocking deaths, but the film also earned its place in the pantheon of horror classics for an unsettling performance by child actor Harvey Spencer Stephens as Damien and a number of iconic scenes, including the “All for You, Damien!” hanging that arrives a mere 13 minutes into the film.

Watch the featurette below to learn more about The Omen‘s legacy and its connections to the upcoming prequel, The First Omen.

Nell Tiger Free (“Servant”) stars in The First Omen, alongside Tawfeek Barhom (“Mary Magdalene”), Sonia Braga (“Kiss of the Spider Woman”), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, Onyx the Fortuitous), and Bill Nighy (“Living”).

In the film, “When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.”

The new movie is directed by Arkasha Stevenson, based on characters created by David Seltzer (“The Omen”), with a story by Ben Jacoby (“Bleed”) and a screenplay by Tim Smith & Arkasha Stevenson and Keith Thomas (Firestarter).

The First Omen releases in theaters on April 5, 2024.
