Leigh Whannell is not only writing Insidious: Chapter 3, he’s directing it as well! Not a huge surprise, but fantastic news nonetheless! I’m very glad this franchise will remain under the full stewardship of the original creative team. FilmDistrict and Sony Pictures have targeted the film for April 3, 2015
Whannel co-created Saw with James Wan, penned both Insidious films, and also starred in both as “Specs”.
The third film will be bringing back Lin Shaye’s character as well as both ghost hunters Specs and Tucker.
I'm truly honored & excited to b passing the torch onto my great bud @LWhannell, who'll make his directorial debut w #INSIDIOUS 3 @blumhouse

Watching @creepypuppet work over the past decade has been the best film school for horror anyone could wish for!
