[BD Review] ‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ Is A Remarkable Return To Form!
Paramount Pictures’ Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones hits theaters THIS FRIDAY January 3, 2014. And you know what? I recommend you go see it that night. Find a big crowd and have a blast with it. I say this as a guy who pretty much hated Paranormal Activity 4.
Writer/director Christopher Landon has gotten the series back on track in a big way, delivering an installment that is certainly one of the most entertaining in the series. From my review, “Fun, scary and remarkably cinematic within the found footage conceit, The Marked Ones might be the first Paranormal Activity movie that feels like an event film while you’re watching it. Not only does it make up for the abject disappointment of PA4, it manages to tie into the mythology of the series in a way that will invigorate anyone who has ever been a fan.”
Read the entire review here and then come back on Friday to write your own! We’ll have a reaction thread up then!
Tom Hardy will be back as Venom in Sony’s upcoming Venom 3 later this year, and Variety reports today that Clark Backo (“Letterkenny”) is the latest actor to sign on.
No word yet on Backo’s role in the hotly anticipated sequel. Stay tuned.
Originally scheduled for July 12, Venom 3 will now release in theaters on November 8, 2024.
Chiwetel Ejiofor (Doctor Strange) and Juno Temple (“Ted Lasso”) will star.
Venom and Venom 2 writer Kelly Marcel will be directing the third movie.
In addition to writing, Kelly Marcel also produced the first two Venom movies. She’s on board to produce Venom 3 as well, and Marcel also wrote the screenplay for the new film.
Deadline reports, “Plot details are unknown other than Hardy returning as the lethal protector Venom following the first two films grossing a combined $1.36 billion worldwide at the box-office. It is also unknown who will be joining Hardy from previous films or if any characters from the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters will be joining the film.”
Ruben Fleischer directed Venom, with Andy Serkis directing Venom: Let There Be Carnage. The 2021 sequel saw Tom Hardy’s Venom do battle with Woody Harrelson’s Carnage. The sequel also made it clear that these Venom movies are taking place within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, so we expect to see some more connections in the upcoming third movie.
Avi Arad, Matt Tolmach, Amy Pascal, and Hutch Parker are also producing Venom 3.
